dependencies

Every library has got to have some dependencies, doesn't it?

But JasonPP's dependencies are are all standard headers.

You do NOT need to install them! They should come with C++ by default!

But just in case:

  • C++ 11
  • cmath
  • cstdlib
  • exception
  • iostream
  • sstream
  • string
  • vector
