	That's what I was referring to when I said that most introductory C++ 
books written in the past either did not mention them or put them 
somewhere at the end of the book.

	In reality, you should use a vector instead of an array unless you have 
a good reason not to. It includes a lot of the protections people look for.

	In coding Python, I've used sets and maps a lot. I'm sure you use them 
even more in Haskell. I sure wish someone had told me years ago that the 
C++ standard library had them.
