The type of data that a template function can be used with is called a generic type. Each generic type in a template function definition is preceded by the keyword <code>template<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the following is a template function that can be used with any type of data:<\/p>\n<p><code>c++<br \/>\ntemplate &lt;typename T&gt;<br \/>\nT add(T a, T b) {<br \/>\n  return a + b;<br \/>\n}<\/code><\/p>\n<p>This function can be used to add two integers, two floats, or two strings. For example, the following code calls the <code>add<\/code> function to add two integers:<\/p>\n<p><code>c++<br \/>\nint a = 1;<br \/>\nint b = 2;<br \/>\nint c = add(a, b);<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The <code>add<\/code> function can also be used to add two floats:<\/p>\n<p><code>c++<br \/>\nfloat a = 1.0;<br \/>\nfloat b = 2.0;<br \/>\nfloat c = add(a, b);<\/code><\/p>\n<p>And the <code>add<\/code> function can also be used to add two strings:<\/p>\n<p><code>c++<br \/>\nstring a = \"Hello\";<br \/>\nstring b = \"World\";<br \/>\nstring c = add(a, b);<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The <code>template<\/code> keyword is used to tell the compiler that the function can be used with different types of data. The <code>T<\/code> in the <code>template &lt;typename T&gt;<\/code> declaration is a placeholder for the type of data that the function will be used with. When the compiler sees the <code>template<\/code> keyword, it will generate a different version of the function for each type of data that it can be used with.<\/p>\n<p>The <code>add<\/code> function is a simple example of a template function. However, template functions can be very complex, and they can be used to create very powerful and flexible code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;template&#8221;
