What is a Container Adapter in C++?
In C++, container adapters are specialized interfaces created on top of other sequential containers like deque, vector, or list by limiting functionality in a pre-existing container and providing more specific functionalities. It is done so as to avoid defining a completely new interface for containers that can be built on top of the already existing containers.
The Standard Template Library (STL) has three main container adapters:
- Stack
- Queue
- Priority Queue
