The STL Library

Hey... I am quite new in C++ programming (I've used Pascal before), and I want to learn the things I need most from the STL Library. Can you tell me as to what I'll probably need in programming contests, so I know where to start. Thank you!

You can learn from this site

http://www.josuttis.com/libbook/toc.html

see the STL algorithms.
I think all of them are needed in programming contest.

In my opinion very useful following STL elements.

containers:
vector
deque
set
map
basic_string

algorithms:
sort
find
next_permutation

Don't forget on:

containers:
priority_queue, multiset, multimap

algorithms:
lower_bound, upper_bound, merge
