Chapter 16, Problem 26RQE
Explanation of Solution
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 should use a “type parameter” to denote a “generic” data type instead of using the actual parameter.
- 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.
- The compiler indentifies the argument type and generates the code to work with those types.
- The generated code is referred as “template function”.
Example:
For example consider the following function template for finding a cube of the specified value:
//Include the required header files
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
//template prefix
template <class T>
//function template definition of ...

c++
Here are struct data members:
integer for the ID of a student
character array for the name. The size of the array is 15
floating-point numbers for the GPA
an integer for a student status
Write the declaration of the struct, lines of code to dynamically allocate size of the struct defined previously, the user will be asked to enter the size of the array, and a function that receives an array of the struct, the length of the array and the student ID as parameters. It should return the name, GPA and student status if found. Make sure to address if not found.
C++ Code Dynamic Arrays
A function template can be overloaded by another function template with the samefunction name. T/F

Updating the deck of cards involves moving the cards from the deck to the beginning of the vector as the player requests a new card. At each deal, the cards in the deck must be printed to make the code in c language. The following functions must be implemented additionally: updateDeck. - This function receives two arguments: a vector with the deck of cards to update and the current size of the deck of cards. It will move the cards in the deck to the beginning of the vector. printVector - This function will receive two parameters: a vector and its dimension. The function will print the vector, and will print the values (the vector) of the initial hand, the updated deck, and the final hand. to make the code in c language Expected output :arrow_forwardin c++ In statistics, the mode of a set of values is the value that occurs most often or with the greatest frequency. Write a function that accepts as arguments the following: A) An array of integers B) An integer that indicates the number of elements in the array The function should determine the mode of the array. That is, it should determine which value in the array occurs most often. The mode is the value the function should return. If the array has no mode (none of the values occur more than once), the function should return −1. (Assume the array will always contain nonnegative values.) Demonstrate your pointer prowess by using pointer notation instead of array notation in this function.arrow_forward
- C++ Write a function that accepts an int array and the array’s size as arguments. The function should create a new array that is twice the size of the argument array.
