Abstract
C++ templates use the same source code for different types. This can improve code flexibility and make programs easier to maintain because code can be written and tested once, yet used with different types. Templates can also be used in generic programming that treats different types with the same semantics. This chapter introduces templates and static polymorphism, the STL, template metaprogramming and some generic programming methods, and shows how these can be used effectively for microcontrollers.
