C++: Using Function Templates

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Template metaprogramming is a powerful computer science technique used to achieve code reuse and some incredibly elegant architectures. In C++, template metaprogramming is achieved via template functions and classes that are instantiated at compile-time, not at runtime. In this course, learn how to define and instantiate function templates to effectively provide compile-time polymorphism. Then, explore how template definitions can make assumptions about the template parameters. Finally, learn how to define and use templates with pointer and reference types to provide function overloading.
