What is the syntax for gaining access to items found in the STL

[hopesfall]

In general, how do I gain access to objects in the Standard Template Library?

[viliml]

What do you mean? you use them like any other object. You include their header and, use them! the headers are mostly eather (name of object) or stl_(name of object).h like #include <list> or #include <stl_pair.h>

You should include a corresponding header file that contains required declarations of STL. For example to use container std::vector you should to write, for example, the following

#include <vector>

int main()
{
   std::vector<int> v;
   // other code

   return 0;
}
