Class Templates
Similar to functions, classes can also be parameterized with one or more types. Container classes, which are used to manage elements of a certain type, are a typical example of this feature. By using class templates, you can implement such container classes while the element type is still open. In this chapter we use a stack as an example of a class template.
2.1 Implementation of Class Template Stack
As we did with function templates, we declare and define class Stack<> in a header file as follows:
basics/stack1.hpp
#include <vector> #include <cassert> template<typename T> class Stack { private: std::vector<T> elems; // elements public: void push(T const& elem); ...
