What is Type Traits?
Type traits in C++ are a powerful set of tools, implemented as template classes, found in the <type_traits> header. They provide a mechanism to inspect and query the properties of types at compile time, such as whether a type is a pointer, arithmetic type, or function. This allows you to write generic code that adapts its behavior based on the characteristics of the types it's working with, enabling compile-time branching and more robust template metaprogramming.
