/* templates can be used to create generic function and class which can use any type of data to process operations.

syntax : 
     template <class T> => we can use "typename" instead of class
     
     T function_name(T argument1, T argument2) {
          do some operations;
     }

 Note : In the above function we can pass any type of data that's the main purpose of templates, createing generic programs
