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++ Code Dynamic Arrays
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.

- C++ Format Please Write a function (named "Lookup") that takes two const references to vectors. The first vector is a vector of strings. This vector is a list of words. The second parameter is a list of ints. Where each int denotes an index in the first vector. The function should return a string formed by concatenated the words (separated by a space) of the first vector in the order denoted by the second vector.

The structure has the following fields: string itemName int quantity double unitPrice The main function call loadUserlnput which returns a pointer to the first Sale element in the dynamically allocated array of Sale elements and an integer for the number of Sale elements in the array. The main function then calls printData to show the sale items including the total of cach sale item and the total of the entire list. Function printData This is the function you need to complete as well as two other helper functions. In the function body, print the report heading.

- Data Structures Practice Question Code in C++ You are building a system for a Housing Society, such as Bahria Town. You are supposed to design a very simple system that allows them to keep a record of how many blocks, sectors, streets, and houses the societyhas. Your system also generates unique names for blocks and sectors, and unique numbers of streets andhouses. YA society has many blocks (A Link List), each block has many sectors (A link List), each sector has many streets (A link List), and each street has many houses (A link List). The society has a name, each block hasa name (an alphabet), each sector has a name (an alphabet), each street has a number, and each house alsohas a unique house number. Note:Society is a HEAD NODE.All Other Node Types can have inherited from Node of type Society. So all nodes can point parentor child nodes types in any arbitrary order.When your program starts:• It asks the user the name of the Society as well as the City in which it is located.
