C++ Standard Template Library in Practice - Min

The video tutorial explains the use of the 'min' function in the Standard Template Library (STL). It covers the basic functionality of finding the smaller of two values, as well as more advanced uses like finding the smallest value in an initializer list or a range. The tutorial also demonstrates how to customize the comparison behavior using predicates and lambdas. Examples include comparing strings by size and finding the minimum absolute value in a list. The video concludes with a preview of the 'max' functions, which are similar to 'min' but in reverse.
