What is the difference between STL and the C++ Standard Library?
Hello, colleagues! I'm a beginner C++ developer and I constantly come across the terms "STL" and "C++ Standard Library". It seems like everyone uses them as synonyms, but I feel they are not exactly the same thing.

#include
#include
#include
int main() {
std::vector numbers = {3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9};
std::sort(numbers.begin(), numbers.end());
for (int n : numbers) {
std::cout << n << " ";
}
return 0;
}
