//in C++, template allows a program to use the same function or class for different data types 
//the function del written in C in previous program is used here in template form to demonstrate one of the strong features of C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int n=10;
template <class T>//template declaration: keyword template, then typename/class followed by type parameter( a placeholder for other data types) in the angle brackets 
int retPos(T [], T);//the function 
template <class T>
void del(T [],  int (*f)(T [],T ));

template <class T>

int retPos(T a[],T q){
cout<<"\nItem to be deleted:\n";
cin>>q;
for (int i=0; i<n;i++)
if(a[i]==q)
     return i;
}
template <class T>
void del(T  a[],   int (*f)(T a[],T q))
{
int b,x;
T q;//item to be deleted of the type chosen by user
x=(*f)(a,q);

for (b=x;b<n;b++)
a[b]=a[b+1];

}

int main ()  
{  
    int a[10]= {101,123,124,6,5,90,76,67,45,65};  //an array of integers
char c[10]={'k','n','z','y','t','d','s','g','p','q'}; //an array of chars
    cout<<"\nInitial array:\n";
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
cout<<" "<<a[i];
cout<<"\n";
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
