Template class code example

Example 1: c++ template function

template <class T>
void swap(T & lhs, T & rhs)
{
 T tmp = lhs;
 lhs = rhs;
 rhs = tmp;
}

Example 2: function template

template <class T>
void swap(T & lhs, T & rhs)
{
 T tmp = lhs;
 lhs = rhs;
 rhs = tmp;
}

void main()
{
  int a = 6;
  int b = 42;
  swap<int>(a, b);
  printf("a=%d, b=%d\n", a, b);
  
  // Implicit template parameter deduction
  double f = 5.5;
  double g = 42.0;
  swap(f, g);
  printf("f=%f, g=%f\n", f, g);
}

/*
Output:
a=42, b=6
f=42.0, g=5.5
*/

Example 3: templates classes in c++

// function template
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

template <class T>
T GetMax (T a, T b) {
  T result;
  result = (a>b)? a : b;
  return (result);
}

int main () {
  int i=5, j=6, k;
  long l=10, m=5, n;
  k=GetMax<int>(i,j);
  n=GetMax<long>(l,m);
  cout << k << endl;
  cout << n << endl;
  return 0;
}

Example 4: c++ template

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

template <typename T>
void Swap(T &n1, T &n2)
{
	T temp;
	temp = n1;
	n1 = n2;
	n2 = temp;
}

int main()
{
	int i1 = 1, i2 = 2;
	float f1 = 1.1, f2 = 2.2;
	char c1 = 'a', c2 = 'b';

	cout << "Before passing data to function template.\n";
	cout << "i1 = " << i1 << "\ni2 = " << i2;
	cout << "\nf1 = " << f1 << "\nf2 = " << f2;
	cout << "\nc1 = " << c1 << "\nc2 = " << c2;

	Swap(i1, i2);
	Swap(f1, f2);
	Swap(c1, c2);

        cout << "\n\nAfter passing data to function template.\n";
	cout << "i1 = " << i1 << "\ni2 = " << i2;
	cout << "\nf1 = " << f1 << "\nf2 = " << f2;
	cout << "\nc1 = " << c1 << "\nc2 = " << c2;

	return 0;
}

Example 5: template in c++

template <typename T>
void Swap(T &n1, T &n2)
{
	T temp;
	temp = n1;
	n1 = n2;
	n2 = temp;
}

Example 6: how to write a template c++

template <class myType>
myType GetMax (myType a, myType b) {
 return (a>b?a:b);
}
