Explanation of Solution

Method of writing a function template:

Before starting to write a function template, first create a regular function with proper parameter list and definition. Then, convert the regular function into a function template.

Steps involved for converting a function into a function template:

  • Define a regular function.
  • Test the regular function with sample data and debug the function whether it works properly or not.
  • Once it is executed correctly, then convert into a template by adding template prefix with type parameter.

Example:

For example, consider the following function “multiply” is used to multiply the given values as follow as:

//Regular function

//d...

When does a function template's code get generated by the compiler?
In C++, as an actual parameter, can an array be passed by value?
Instructions: In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for a string and passes this string and the size of this string to a function call of the function, preserveString(). This preserveString() function has the following description: Return type - void Name - preserveString Parameters The string Length of the string Description - this is a recursive function that prints the string repeatedly. Each time it prints the string, it excludes the last character of the string until only one character is left. This preserveString() function has already been partially implemented. Your only task is to add the recursive case of this function.   Please Finish the code ASAP: This is my current given code:  #include<stdio.h>#include<string.h> #define STR_MAX_SIZE 100 void preserveString(char*, int); int main(void) {    char str[STR_MAX_SIZE];     printf("Enter string: ");    fgets(str, STR_MAX_SIZE, stdin);     preserveString(str,…
