Question

What kind of functions are min and max in c++?

(a) Type specific

(b) Variable specific

(c) Type & Variable specific

(d) Iterator

I had been asked this question in an internship interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Min and Max topic in division Algorithms, Objects & Iterators in C++ of C++

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Type specific

The best explanation: The min/max functions are type specific but they will not force everything to be converted to/from floating point. The functions that will force everything to be converted to/from floating point are fmin/fmax.
