Example - Point<C>

We make a type parameterized Point - class Point<C>

A type parameterized variant of class Point - point.h.

The implementation of the template class Point - point.cc.

A program that illustrate template instantiation.

Lessons learned
- The definition of member functions in the template class becomes more complex
  - See the file point.cc
- Template instantiation first occurs when Point<int> and Point<double> is encoutered
  - For this reason, point.cc must be included in prog.cc instead of (as usual) point.h
