Tutorial: Generic Algorithms and Data Structures in C++

Generic algorithms and data structures form the foundation of efficient and reusable code in C++. They enable you to write flexible and versatile code that can work with different data types and structures. This tutorial will guide you through the concepts and usage of generic algorithms and data structures in C++.

Introduction to Generic Algorithms and Data Structures

In C++, generic algorithms and data structures are designed to operate on a wide range of data types, providing code reusability and flexibility. They allow you to write functions and classes that can work with different data types without sacrificing performance or type safety.

Here's an example of a generic algorithm for finding the maximum element in a container:


#include <algorithm>

#include <vector>

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



template 

T findMax(const vector
