Does Adept have something like C++ STL containers?

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I can't find anything like that on AdeptImport.

Update: I found Adept has the List data structure. Is it the same as vector on C++?

Yes <$T> List is really the only main standard container. It uses runtime ownership passing (like String) to determine when to free.

There's also <$T> Grid, <$T> Array, and <$T> InitializerList, but those are less commonly needed.

Right now, runtime ownership passing is the only safe way to do containers that can change scope (there's a few additions necessary before copy based [like std::vector and std::string] can be used), but otherwise all STL like containers should be possible to implement

[IsaacShelton]

<$T> List is not completely the same as std::vector is in C++ though.

std::vector<T> is copied when passed/assigned/etc.

<$T> List is a reference to another list when passed/assigned/etc.

In order to transfer ownership of a std::vector<T> you use std::move()

In order to transfer ownership of a <$T> List, you use list.commit() (orlist.give() or list.donate())
