Wondering if we can swap an integer and a floating number in a single function with generics.. Do you know how to do that?

[@madamadadane7989]

I really wish you were our college professor 😭 you'd honestly save an entire class and help them pass instead of the professors we have that drive us to insanity and failure. i thank you from the bottom of my heart

Thank you for this comment, and welcome 🤗🥰

[@StabbyMacStabStab]

If anyone is getting an error with this, it's probably because you named the "swap()" function in all lowercase. There is already a "swap()" function defined in the std library that you imported using the namespace so it will cause an ambiguous function overload error.

[@Kanha0321]

thank you so much for this comment. With this 4 lines only you'd explained why using namespace std is a bad practice.

[@navjotsingh2251]

@@Kanha0321 nothing wrong with it, you just need to name your functions uniquely, so that you don't clash with std. I've not had any problems, just had to name my functions following a pattern so that there are not any clashes.

[@Daniel-cl6hj]

I just ran into an issue on this one where I defined my swap function with all lowercase (since functions are camel case and classes are camel starting with an upper, so I thought you made a mistake). Turns out there's a built in swap function that's already generic (and it was getting called without prepending std:: since I included the std namespace globally). So when I used the generic type in my function definition it thought I was overloading it to be generic AGAIN so it had no clue which one to use... Interesting little bug that sent me down a rabbit hole lol

[@dieumercimbo9304]

Thank you so much for your clear and precise explanation than the book. You are currently holding the medal for C++ tutorials.

[@learnfromatharv7121]

You are so crisp in your explanations and presentation that I feel yours are one of the best c++ tutorials on KZbin. I would recommend these videos to everyone. Will you please make some videos on software architecture for budding coders. What I mean, how should one start developing a software/application and organize his/her code?

[@patrickmayer9218]

*Generics are a way to make functions that work for different variable types. * put "template" (or any other name for your template) in the line above your function, and use that name as the type of the variables in the function. *Although it is not required, it is best practice to specify the type of variables when you call the function. For example, instead of Swap(a, b); You should do Swap(a, b); Thank you for the video, Saldina!

[@CostlyFiddle]

Phenomenal video, this is the first of your videos I have watched. I returned to university to fulfill my life dream of combining my love in computers & physics. My dual major currently is Computer Science & Physics, this video is invaluable & really helped me understand the concept. I will be watching more of your videos and maybe gain a slight advantage over my far younger peers (I'm twice the age of many of my classmates). Thanks again and welcome to my algorithm!

I started learning C/C++ 3 years ago based on several other tutorials and i can say your tutorials are so much better that i can not help watching them all even though i already know most things you explain...which is pretty amazing i think!

Hi, just making sure, I cannot use the same template for multiple functions right? I always have to create a template for each individual function?

[@joaops4165]

Sorry for the English. I think the (template ) is part of the function declaration. I tried to use declaration and definition, and I only managed to do it like this: #include using namespace std; template void Swap(T& a, T& b); int main() { int a = 10, b = 20; cout

[@ladymorwendaebrethil-feani4031]

I would like to know if there is any way to use a generic type input in c++. Something that allows me instead of passing the value by argument (using function overloading or templates), simply capturing an generic input from the keyboard.

[@jolly_dollyyy]

lucid explanation!!

[@WebSculptors]

so goood thank you

[@bearsoundzMusic]

The function swap is only partly generic imo It swaps two *int* variables or *two* char variables Real generic would have to be able to handle _more_ than *one* type, in the _same_ call So int main(){ int a=5; char b = 'b'; cout

[@yxlxfxf]

dunno if you still need the answer but yes, it is possible. Just declare two template parameters: template void swap(T &&a, U &&b);

[@spytonic4171]

can you plz make a video on c++ stl?

[@jones_17]

Please teach operator overloading

[@marco21274]

I think with C++ 20 you can now use auto: void swap(auto &l, auto &r).

[@rnd1sir347]

you are so good.

[@FlyingTurtleLP]

6:20 Vid starts here if you know at least a little bit of c ;)

[@John_Wall]

Hi Saldana - following your advice for best practice I moved the Swap() definition below main(), and placed a Swap() declaration above main(). However, things started going a bit pear-shaped when it came to adding template. Unless I place the template line immediately above both the Swap() definition and declaration I get a compiler error. But the solution feels wrong as I am duplicating the same line of code. Is it correct to write the template line twice, or is there a better way? Cheers. P.s There seem to be many very clever people teaching coding on YT, but imo you have by far the best teaching style - you always break the problems down into easy to understand chunks, so thank you!
