How can I use templates in C programming?

How can I use templates in C programming?

C doesn't support templates like C++, but you can achieve similar functionality using macros or generic programming with void pointers.

Can you give me an example of using macros for templates?

Sure! You can define a macro like this: #define MAX(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b)). This allows you to find the maximum of two values.

What are the limitations of using macros instead of templates?

Macros are less type-safe and can lead to code bloat, as they are expanded inline. Templates in C++ provide better type checking.

Is there a way to implement generic data structures in C?

Yes, you can use void pointers and function pointers to create generic data structures, but it requires more manual management.
