It's obvious that you are taking computer science AP, i had produced fixed up
versions of the ap string & ap vector originally, but then after i learnt
about the STL myself, it's far easy.

The AP classes are based on the STL classes,
so just do
#include <string>
#include <vector>
and work away.

There is one caveat empor though, to do a matrix, declare it as
vector<vector<basetype>> myVector;

a string:
string myStr;

You will also want to notice that the name of some methods, in particular
length is different in the AP vector, to the STL classes (size).

You will find the STL classes have all the power from before, and more!
