Multi-Paradigm Programming with Modern C++ - When to Use Templates

The video tutorial discusses the use of templates in C programming, highlighting their complexity and benefits. Templates help raise code abstraction, encourage reuse, and simplify client code. They are essential for algorithms that handle multiple argument types and for creating containers. The tutorial demonstrates converting a math library to use templates, addressing challenges like type size and copyability. It emphasizes using constant references and static asserts for correctness. The video concludes with a preview of creating a new type for the context library.
