- Solution

Explore how C++ templates implement factorial functions through recursive-like instantiation, not traditional recursion. This lesson helps you understand template metaprogramming and prepares you for advanced topics like type traits.

We'll cover the following...

Solution Review

C++
// templateFactorial.cpp
#include <iostream>
template <int N>
struct Factorial{
static int const value = N * Factorial<N-1>::value;
};
template <>
struct Factorial<1>{
static int const value = 1;
};
int main(){
std::cout << Factorial<10>::value << std::endl;
}
