What is Template Specialization?

Template specialization in C++ allows you to provide custom implementations of templates for specific types or type patterns. This becomes useful when the generic template implementation doesn't suit a particular type, requiring tailored logic for optimization or specific behavior. Template specialization comes in two primary forms: full specialization, where a completely new implementation is defined for a specific type, and partial specialization, where a more specialized implementation is provided for a subset of types matching a given pattern.
