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 ...

In c++, please and thank you!
Write a function that dynamically allocates an array of integers. The function should accept an integer argument indicating the number of elements to allocate. The function should return a pointer to the array.
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.
In C++
Write the definition of a void function that has two parameters: an array, and an integer parameter that specifies the number of elements in the array. The functions swaps the first and last elements of the array.

- C++ Dynamic Programs Hoskins College offers both curriculum and continuing education courses. Write a program that dynamically tracks these courses using an array of object pointers. Every course (both curriculum and continuing education) has a course id, title, room number, and number of contact hours. A curriculum course has credit hours and tuition rate. Tuition is calculated by multiplying the course's credit hours by tuition rate. A continuing education course has a flat fee (cost). Implement a show() function in every class that displays the data in the object. Part A: Create an inheritance-based collection of classes to represent these different courses. Include code in main to test your work by instantiating objects of the two derived classes. Part B: Modify your program. Remove the objects you created in main to test the classes.

If the bool argument is false then the function returns true if and only if the array is sorted in descending order. In all other cases the function returns false.You may assume that the array has at least two elements.arrow_forward
