What does Box<Object> mean?

[mysticwater]

Hi,
I have a question related to c++ syntax. I was looking at c++ code and I noticed that a lot of the times notation in the following format (with different names of course) Box<Object>. An example of such syntax is seen below too:

template <typename Object>
class Box_tester:public Tester< Box<Object> > {
    using Tester< Box<Object> >::object;
    using Tester< Box<Object> >::command;
 
public:
    Box_tester( Box<Object> * obj = 0 ):Tester< Box<Object> >( obj ) {
        // empty
    }
 
    void process();
};
 
 

What does this mean? I am guessing it is related to templates?

thanks!

What you have posted is a template for a class named Box_Tester that is derived from a class Tester.

What you need to do next is grab a C++ textbook and read the chapters on templates. Then you will see how this code works.
