What are some use cases for C++ standard lists?

C++ standard lists are useful for scenarios where you need efficient insertions and deletions, like implementing queues or stacks.

Can you give me an example of using a list in a queue implementation?

Sure! You can use a list to store elements in a queue, where you add elements to the back and remove them from the front.

What are the advantages of using lists over vectors?

Lists allow for constant time insertions and deletions from anywhere in the list, while vectors may require shifting elements.

Are there any performance considerations I should be aware of?

Yes, lists have higher memory overhead due to pointers, and accessing elements is slower compared to vectors.
