Class Templates

•We can specify a non-type identifier in the template formal argument list, prefaced by its data type.

•A non-type specifier allows the identifier listed to be substituted for a value specified by the client at instantiation time.

•template <data_type nontype_identifier>

•The data type of non-type identifiers must be an integral type, an enumeration type, a pointer to an object, a reference to an object, a pointer to a function, a reference to a function, or a pointer to a member.

•They cannot be void or a floating point type.
