Quickly merging two sorted arrays using std::merge() in C++ STL

Class template with multiple parameters

Last Updated : 27 Jun, 2017

Prerequisite: Templates in C++

While creating templates, it is possible to specify more than one type. We can use more than one generic data type in a class template. They are declared as a comma-separated list within the template as below:
Syntax:

template<class T1, class T2, ...>
class classname
{
      ...
      ...
};

// CPP program to illustrate 
// Class template with multiple parameters 
  
#include<iostream> 
using namespace std; 
  
// Class template with two parameters 
template<class T1, class T2> 
class Test 
{ 
        T1 a; 
        T2 b; 
    public: 
        Test(T1 x, T2 y) 
        { 
            a = x; 
            b = y; 
        } 
        void show() 
        { 
            cout << a << " and " << b << endl; 
        } 
}; 
  
// Main Function 
int main() 
{ 
    // instantiation with float and int type 
    Test <float, int> test1 (1.23, 123); 
      
    // instantiation with float and char type 
    Test <int, char> test2 (100, 'W');    
      
    test1.show(); 
    test2.show(); 
      
    return 0; 
} 

Output:

1.23 and 123
100 and  W

Explanation of the code:

In the above program, the Test constructor has two arguments of generic type.
The type of arguments is mentioned inside angle brackets < > while creating objects.
When argument is more than one, they are separated by commas.
Following statement
```
Test  test1 (1.23, 123);
```
tells the compiler that the first argument is of type float and another one is int type.
During creation of objects, constructor is called and values are received by template arguments.

Templates in C++

C++ template is a powerful tool that allows you to write a generic code that can work with any data type. The idea is to simply pass the data type as a parameter so that we don't need to write the same code for different data types. For example, same sorting algorithm can work for different type, so

Self-Referential Classes in C++

A class is a building block in C++ that leads to Object-Oriented programming. It is a user-defined type that holds its own data members and member functions. These can be accessed by creating an instance of the type class. Self-referential classes are a special type of classes created specifically f

How to Define the Constructor Outside the Class in C++?

A constructor is a special type of member function whose task is to initialize the objects of its class. It has no return type so can't use the return keyword and it is implicitly invoked when the object is created. Constructor is also used to solve the problem of initialization. It is called after

Constructor Delegation in C++

In C++, constructor delegation refers to calling a constructor from another constructor within the same class to avoid redundant code.

Difference Between Object And Class

Class is a detailed description, the definition, and the template of what an object will be. But it is not the object itself. Also, what we call, a class is the building block that leads to Object-Oriented Programming. It is a user-defined data type, that holds its own data members and member functi
