Default Template Parameters and Template Instantiation

Explore the use of default template parameters in D to simplify template usage by providing assumed types. Understand that each template instantiation produces a unique type and how this compile-time feature affects type assignments. This lesson helps you write more scalable and type-safe template code in D.

Default template parameters

Sometimes, it is cumbersome to provide template parameter types every time a template is used, especially when that type is almost always a particular type. For example, getResponse() may almost always be called for the int type in the program, and only in a few places for the double type.

It is possible to specify default types for template parameters, which are assumed when the types are not explicitly provided. Default ...
