What's that?
- detaro 9y agoFor some reason, c++ folks seem to sometimes use "meow" as a placeholder. I thus guess that it means "all the something_n functions in <algorithm>", like http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/fill_n/ http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/fill_n/ ?
- int_19h 9y agoSTL (Stephan T. Lavavej, that is, not the library) just happens to like kittens.
- StephanTLavavej 9y agoYes. Why say "unordered_map, unordered_multimap, unordered_set, unordered_multiset" or the boring "unordered_foo" when I can say "unordered_meow", and so forth?
- jwilk 9y agoWhat do you use when you need more than one metasyntactic variable?
- StephanTLavavej 9y agoPurr! Hiss!
