Simple Class Template Array Program: Search Number

Generic Programming

Templates are a feature of the C++ programming language that allows functions and classes to operate with generic types

Class Template Definition

A class template provides a specification for generating classes based on parameters. Class templates are generally used to implement containers. A class template is instantiated by passing a given set of types to it as template arguments.The C++ Standard Library contains many class templates, in particular, the containers adapted from the Standard Template Library, such as vector.
