Chapter 16, Problem 16RQE

A template which is designed to work with a specific data type is referred as “specialized template”.

Program Plan Intro

Function template:

In C++, a function template is referred as a “generic” function, which can work with different data types.

  • While writing a function template, a programmer can specify the “type parameter” instead of using the actual data type.
  • The compiler generates the code, when it encounters a function call to a function template. This code will handle the particular data type which is used in the function call.

Example:

For example consider the below function template used to find the cube of given value for any types:

//template function

template <class T>

//function definition of "cube"

T cube(T x)

{

//return the cube of the value

return x*x*x ;

}

C++ language Alter the code found in main.cpp  Using the file, add/change the code in the file, but only where indicating you can add or change code. main.cpp #include <iostream> using namespace std; /*The function binarySearch accepts a sorted array data with no duplicates, and the range within that array to search, defined by first and last. Finally, goal is the value that is searched for within the array. If the goal can be found within the array, the function returns the index position of the goal value in the array.

Absolute Value TemplateWrite a function template that accepts an argument and returns its absolute value. The absolute value of a number is its value with no sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the absolute value of 2 is 2. Test the template in a simple driver program being sure to send the template short, int, double, float, and long data values.
assembly language ctt 9.  Counting Nearly Matching ElementsWrite a procedure named CountNearMatches that receives pointers to two arrays of signed doublewords, a parameter that indicates the length of the two arrays, and a parameter that indicates the maximum allowed difference (called diff) between any two matching elements. For each element x(i) in the first array, if the difference between it and the corresponding y(i) in the second array is less than or equal to diff, increment a count. At the end, return a count of the number of nearly matching array elements in EAX. Display this value. Write a test program that calls CountNearMatches and passes pointersto two different pairs of arrays. Use the INVOKE statement to call your procedure and pass stackparameters. Create a PROTO declaration for CountMatches. Save and restore any registers (other than EAX) changed by your procedure.
