Specializations

•Supporting special cases is particularly important when dealing with class templates.

•For some types, we may find that certain member functions need partial specialization.

•For other types, we may find that additional data members are required.

•To support special cases, we can implement specific instantiations of our member functions and classes to customize the functionality for a given set of data types and values.
