how to query if(T==int) with template class

Question

When I\'m writing a function in a template class how can I find out what my T is?

e.g.

template 
ostream& operator << (os         


        

Answer 1

This way.

ostream & operator << (ostream &out, Vector const & vec)
{
    // ...
}

The compiler will choose this function over the function template if you pass Vector.

Edit: I found this article, which attempts to explain why to prefer overloading to template specialization.
