The class inside the <> is just a keyword used by templates, it doesn't mean that the function can take only classes at their template parameters. For example, this would be a valid call to that function: int a=GetMin(1.25,4);
A synonym for class in that context is typename, by the way.

To all:
jayt == mischt
He accidentally posted a response as mischt here, then deleted it and reposetd it as jayt, then deleted that post. I just happened to see it. :)
