Answer:
Explanation:
Here is the code
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
template <class myType>
int generic(myType *a, myType b)
{
int i;
for(i=0;a[i]!=-1;i++)
{
if( b == a[i])
return i;
}
return -1;
}
int main()
{
int a[]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,-1};
float b[]={1.1,2.1,3.1,4.1 ,5.1,6.1,7.1,-1};
if(generic(a,5)>0)
{
cout<<" 5 is foundin int at index "<<generic(a,5)<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<" 5 notfound "<<endl;
}
if(generic(b,(float)5.1)>0)
{
cout<<" 5.1 isfound in float at index "<<generic(a,5)<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<" 5.1 notfound "<<endl;
}
system("pause");
}
/*
sample output
5 is found in int at index 4
5.1 is found in float at index 4
*/
