I'm not particularly new to programming, but I've sort of found myself stuck using a weird combination of C and C++ libraries every time I try and do something simply because I haven't taken the time to learn the things that C++ makes easier than C. In trying to bridge that gap, I've decided to also begin using the standard template linked lists instead of creating my own every time. And with that, I am absolutely confused.

I understand (more or less) enough about containers to get the idea of how the lists are implemented, but I don't understand some of the fundamentals. I don't know any of the syntax to get these things working, and most of the research I've done has yielded a lot of text about the subject, but not a lot of good example code - which is really a big part of what I'm looking for.

So, with all of that (sorry, I know I'm VERY wordy) I need to know the basics. I mean, I need "Hello World" level code. Something like pushing a few integers into the list and printing the list. I seriously couldn't find anything like that while searching. Maybe some demonstrations of other useful functions, but all I really need are the basic "push", "pop", "insert", "remove", and maybe "search".

Any contributions are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
