This lecture introduces the concept of generic programming through templates in C++. It covers the basics of template declaration, instantiation, specialization, and the importance of generic classes and functions. The lecture also explains how to exchange values of different types using templates, generalize classes, and handle overloading and specialization. It emphasizes the need for complete definitions of class templates during separate compilation and provides examples of template usage and specialization.
