Chapter 16, Problem 28RQE
Explanation of Solution
Function template:
In C++, a function template is referred as a “generic” function, which can work with different data types.
- While writing a function template, a programmer should use a “type parameter” to denote a “generic” data type instead of using the actual parameter.
- The compiler generates the code, when it encounters a function call to a function template. This code will handle the particular data type which is used in the function call.
- The compiler indentifies the argument type and generates the code to work with those types.
Example:
For example consider the following function template for adding different data types values:
//include the required header files
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
//template function
template <class T,class B>
//function definition of "add"
T add(T x,B y)

A "generic" data structure cannot use a primitive type as its generic type.

Absolute Value TemplateWrite a function template that accepts an argument and returns its absolute value. The absolute value of a number is its value with no sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the absolute value of 2 is 2. Test the template in a simple driver program being sure to send the template short, int, double, float, and long data values.
