TMP and its applications

A programming technique in which computer programs have the ability to treat other programs as their data is known as metaprogramming. This means that a program can be designed to read, generate, analyze, or transform other programs, and even modify itself while running. One kind of metaprogramming is a compiler, which takes a text format program as an input language (C, Fortran, Java, and so on) and produces another binary machine code format program in an output language.

C++ TMP means producing metaprograms in C++ using templates. It has two components—a template must be defined, and a defined template must be instantiated. TMP is Turing-complete, which means it has the capability to compute anything computable, at least in principle. Also, because variables are all immutable (variables are constants) in TMP, recursion rather than iteration is used to process the elements of a set.

Why do we need TMP? Because it can speed up our programs during...
