- I'm busy going through a book and studying C++. But I'm befuddled by the
- concept of templates. I understand classes and how they function, but I do
- not understand WHY there are templates and what one would use them for.
- Could someone please give me the rationale behind it all? Perhaps I'm being
- confused by the syntax too for templates seem very similar to classes - but
- weird!

- Kindly reply by e-mail.
