Here's a third:

 int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
 {
 copy( argv, argv+argc, ostream_iterator<char *>(cout, "\n"));
 return 0;
 }

It copies each of its input parameters onto a separate line on standard out. Without
STL you'd write something like this:

 int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
 {
 for( int i = 0; i < argc; ++i )
  cout << argv[i] << "\n";
 return 0;
 }

In simple programs like these it may well appear that the non-STL version is
simpler. The big advantage that STL has is that it generalizes cleanly:

 int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
 {
 vector<char *> vect;
 copy( argv, argv+argc, inserter(vect) );
 copy( vect.begin(), vect.end(), ostream_iterator<char *>(cout,"\n"));
 return 0;
 }

Ch 5 of the STL Reference manual contains some simple example
programs. This can be obtained from the site
ftp://butler.hpl.hp.com/stl

Ok, I took pity on the people who want to see STL examples. Here are two
examples of a Hello, World program in STL. Enjoy!

int main()
{  copy(istream_iterator<char>(istrstream("Hello, World\n")),
      istream_iterator<char>(),
      ostream_iterator<char>(cout));

   return 0;
}

If your compiler doesn't support default template arguments, use
istream_iterator<char, ptrdiff_t> instead.

int main()
{  char h[] = "Hello, World\n";
   for_each(h, h + sizeof(h), bind2nd(ptr_fun(fputc), stdout));
   return 0;
}

The second example would be nicer if one could somehow use cout and
left_shift<ostream, char>, but there are technical differences due to
the fact that ostream_with_assign has no copy constructor. I was tempted
to define a class ostream_with_assign_and_copy_construction to solve that
problem, but I'll leave that for the obfuscated C++ contest.

Let me say that I have NO relationship whatsoever with the outfit I am
about to recommend... I found Modena's STL adaptation a good source of
example code and tutorial information. They charge, I believe, $99. If
you are not amused by the Stepanov/Lee documentation, you may like Modena.
As always, it is a time vs. money tradeoff. Their email address is
modena@netcom.com

I don't know where you can find code examples, but:

    - you can get STL from /ftp@butler.hpl.hp.com:/stl or
    - you can buy a supported, documented version from ObjectSpace
      (Dallas, TX; I don't have their contact information).
