Writing a Generic Function

[Donguy1976]

I have 3 functions that do sorting on a CArray.

CArrays are declared in header file:

CArray<int*, int*>m_Integer;
CArray<string*, string*>m_String;
CArray<double*, double*>m_Double;

void sortIntegers()
{

// Do sorting for m_Integer here
}

void sortStrings()
{
// DO sorting for m_String
}

void sortDouble()
{
// Do sorting for m_Double
}

Now what i want to do is, have one generic function and then pass the CArray to that.

So far what i did is,

in Header file:

void sortAll(CArray<void*, void*> m_Array);

in CPP file:

void sortAll(CArray<void*, void*> m_Array)
{
int size = m_Array.GetSize();

............
............
............

m\_Array.GetAt(0); // Error here
................
................

}

The error is that, it needs a class type and not a void type.

I am not sure how to proceed with writing a generic function to handle all different data types in one.

Any help is welcome!

You need to use Template classes; see https://www.google.com/search?q=template+class+c%2B%2B[^].
