Answer to Question #50557 in C++ for zexy2521

Question

Create a class template for a class that holds an object. The template should provide a
standard data input function that begins with a generic warning message to enter data
carefully. The template also should include a standard output function that issues a
generic “Here’s the data you requested” message. Write a main()function that tests your
template class with an integer and two programmer-designed classes. Save the file as
StandardizedInAndOut.cpp.

Answer 1

// StandardizedInAndOut.cpp -- template class that holds an object and classes for testing.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
//-----------------------------------------
// Class that holds an object
// T should be a basic type or
// should have an overloaded extraction (>>) and insertion (<<) operators
template<typename T>
class object_holder
{
private:
T m_object;
public:
void input();
void output() const;
};
template<typename T>
void object_holder<T>::input()
{
std::cout << "Please, enter data carefully:" << std::endl;
std::cin >> m_object;
}
template<typename T>
void object_holder<T>::output() const
{
std::cout << "Here's the data you requested: " << std::endl;
std::cout << m_object << std::endl;
}
