New to MQL 5

 
As I have just some C background, I'm planning to study only API functions of Metatrader. Should I also know about the standard library? Is there anything which I can do it with the standard library but not with the API functions?

No you don't need to learn the standard library, at least to start, and maybe forever.
 
Thank you Alain.
