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.
