Explanation of Solution

Requirement of type parameter:

No”, the type parameter is not required to be a single letter written in upper case.

Explanation:

  • In general, the type parameter is a single letter written in upper case.
  • Type parameter holds the value of specific type that a user specifies when they create an instance of generic type.
  • Type parameter names which are commonly used are,
    • “T”-It is used for representing general type.
    • “K”- It is used for representing a type of key in a class which consists of key-value pairs...

"Strongly typed type checking" and "loosely typed type checking" should be defined.
Can a type parameter be named using any identifier other than a keyword?
C++ printSmaller is a function that accepts two int parameters and returns no value. It will print the value of the smaller one parameters. The function protoype is as follows:  void printSmaller(int num1, int num2); write the statments to read two integers and call this function to display the smaller one.
