Complete Modern C++ - Explicit Specialization

The video explains explicit specialization using the Max function as an example. It highlights an issue with string comparison due to address comparison and demonstrates how to implement explicit specialization to resolve it. The video provides a code example and explains the importance of defining specialized functions in a CPP file to avoid violating the one definition rule.

Why might we need to implement a specialized version of the Max function for strings?
