Topic - Class Templates

A class template is a class definition that contains a generic type, and one or more function templates. Just like function templates, instantiations of a class template are called template classes. Class templates are most commonly used with container classes.

1. The first class template example
2. The second example - a class template with arrays
3. The third example - class templates with container & iterator classes
4. The fourth example - A generic File I/O Class
5. The fifth example - A generic Linked List

	TWO<int, double> object1(5,6.7);
	TWO<string, unsigned int> object2("Have a nice day",4u);
	TWO<string, string> object3("apple","banana");
