How to Install libstdc++ on CentOS

What is libstdc++

libstdc++ is a library of functions and classes that is an integral part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) on Linux systems. It contains implementation code for standard C++ library functions, which are required by C++ programs to run. The library includes features such as input/output, strings, numeric algorithms, and memory management. It also contains support for various data structures and containers like arrays, vectors, maps, and sets. libstdc++ is typically installed alongside GCC, but it can also be installed separately as a package. It is an essential library for any Linux system that runs C++ programs or applications.
