C++ class templates are created when a programmer wants to reuse the same code in multiple locations. Rather than rewrite the code or copy and paste it multiple times, the template is created with the required functionality. The different data can then be called for use with a particular template. Specialization is used when the code must be written for a specific type of data.
Instructions
- 1
Declare the C++ template to be used by providing the keyword template in the first set of code. Inside the angled brackets, enter either class or typename as the keywords. The next line starts with the keyword class, and then the queue class, member data and member functions.
2Define the template definition, by writing the template name. Inside the angled brackets, enter either class or typename as used in the declaration and add the function that needs to be completed.
3Determine the data type that you want specialization within the template. You can select from the function template, class template, member function, static data member, member class, member function template and the member class template of a class template.
4Isolate the specialization by adding the double arrows and the typing explicit specialization, between quotations. The following line, replace the default arguments with the exact data or class set that you want to specialize for this template.
5Close off the code in the normal way.
