Chapter 4 : Return type of template function in C++

This chapter will discuss the various ways we can declare or deduce the return type of a template function. We can use either template or non-template parameters to declare the return type of a function template. We can also deduce the return type using keywords like auto and decltype. In some cases, we can declare a separate type parameter for the return type. Because of these intricacies, it is necessary to discuss the template function’s return type in detail with specific examples tailored for each case.
