C++ | Templates | Question 10
Output of following program.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template < class T, int max>
int arrMin(T arr[], int n)
{
int m = max;
for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++)
if (arr[i] < m)
m = arr[i];
return m;
}
int main()
{
int arr1[] = {10, 20, 15, 12};
int n1 = sizeof (arr1)/ sizeof (arr1[0]);
char arr2[] = {1, 2, 3};
int n2 = sizeof (arr2)/ sizeof (arr2[0]);
cout << arrMin< int , 10000>(arr1, n1) << endl;
cout << arrMin< char , 256>(arr2, n2);
return 0;
}

Answer: (B)
Explanation: We can pass non-type arguments to templates. Non-type parameters are mainly used for specifying max or min values or any other constant value for a particular instance of template. The important thing to note about non-type parameters is, they must be const. Compiler must know the value of non-type parameters at compile time. Because compiler needs to create functions/classes for a specified non-type value at compile time.
Following is another example of non-type parameters.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template
T fun (T arr[], int size)
{
if (size > N)
cout << "Not possible";
T max = arr[0];
for (int i = 1; i < size; i++)
if (max < arr[i])
max = arr[i];
return max;
}
int main ()
{
int arr[] = {12, 3, 14};
cout << fun (arr, 3);
}
