lab_templates

1. Replace the multiple times() functions in lab_templates.h with a single templated function.
2. times() takes two parameters of the same type.
3. times() should return a value equal to the two input parameters multiplied together.
4. You MUST use templates for this task.

lab_special_template

1. Building on your solution from lab_templates, a special case has been introduced in this task.
2. If the times() function is supplied with a string (a) and and an int (b) as parameters the function should return the string repeated b times.
3. Write your solution in the lab_special_template.h file.

lab_template_iterators

• In the lab_template_iterators.h file, write the templated function called how_long()
• how_long() should take two iterators as its input parameters, these iterators represent the beginning and end of a sequence.
• how_long() should return an integer saying how many elements are in the supplied sequence.
• You MUST use templates for this task.

lab_template_return

• Complete the template definition of the add_together() function.
  • Should take two iterators as its input parameters.
  • Should return the sum of the values in the given sequence.
• You will need to use iterator_traits.

Extended work

• Investigate templating C++ classes.

  • Can be used to create classes that can contain different types of variables.

  • Use the supplied stack.h file combined with your own stack code from the data structures week to implement a templated Stack class.
