The program that i have to design: A function template to find max from different data types such as int,char, float, double , long , char* It says that i have to pass an array as argument by using type template argument and pass the size of the array by using non-type template (i think here integer) arguments And also to find max in a char* , i need to use function overloading

template <class T> class tryThis{ private: T* array; }; you can’t template a char* array because it’s set as char. Just use the template variable and it will adapt to what you pass in.

Char* is normally a character array. If you have an array of these it will be a matrix
