    Sptr<CallId> myId meaning

    I know what this means:

    int a; --declare a storage to store an integer


    But what does this means:

    Sptr<CallId> myId ?

    Smile Its a Template

    I re-read my first post, felt it didn't really answer your question.. hence trying to make it much more simpler.....

    There are generic classes in C++ called template classes. You give the type of data this generic class will work with inbetween "<" and ">" and then specify the object name of the class.

    For example:
    There is a generic class called stack available in C++
    [ STL (Standard Template Library) ]

    If you wanted a stack that stores information of type int in it, you would say

    stack<int> ob;

    Here ob is a stack object that would store information of type int within it.

    If you wanted a stack that stores information of type double, you would say

    stack<double> ob1;

    Here ob1 is a stack object that would store information of type double within it.

    I hope this gives a brief insight into what a Template Class is and why it is also referred as a Generic Class

    Note: You have Generic / Template functions too
