Chapter 16.3, Problem 16.8CP
Program Plan Intro
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 can specify the “type parameter” instead of using the actual data type.
- 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.
Example:
For example consider the below function template used to find the cube of given value for any types:
//template function
template <class T>
//function definition of "cube"
T cube(T x)
{
//return the cube of the value
return x*x*x ;
}

- In operator overloading, if you overload == as a nonmember function, you are allowed to pass one or both objects as parameters O True Falsearrow_forwardC++arrow_forwardIn C/C++, True or False: A variable's type helps define the range of values that can be held by that type. A variable's type helps define the operations that can be performed on that type.
