Regarding Template class
Hi all,
I have a doubt in using normal class and templated class. Why do we use formal template syntax to each individual function.
How it differs from using the normal class.
Thank you,

A template class is not actually a class, until it is substantiated for a particular type. That is, it is merely a "template" for the compiler to generate multiple classes at instantiation-time. This means that when you substantiate a template class for "double" and substantiate it for "int", both instantiations will be of a different type (since they will be instances of unrelated classes).
That is different from a regular class, where all instances are of the same type.

@Toasty, "instantiate" (create an instance of), not "substantiate" (provide evidence in support of). :-)
