Class templates

Similar to the function template, the class template is used to build a generic class that can accept various data types. Let's refactor the preceding Function_Template.cbp code by adding a new class template. The code should be as follows:

// Class_Templates.cbp#include <iostream>using namespace std;class Animal{protected:    string m_name;public:    Animal(string name) : m_name(name)    {    }    // The interface that has to be implemented    // in derived class    virtual string MakeSound() = 0;    string GetName()    {        return m_name;    }};class Dog : public Animal{public:    // Forward the constructor arguments    Dog(string name) : Animal(name) {}    // Copy assignment operator overloading    void operator = (const Dog &D)    {         m_name = D.m_name;    } // here we implement ...
