Function that accepts every type of argument [duplicate]

Question

Let's say I want to create a function that couts the value I pass it, but I don't know whether it is an int, or a string, or….

So something like:

void print(info) {
   cout << info;
}

print(5);
print("text");

You can do it with a function template:

template <typename T>
void print( const T& info)
{
   std::cout << info ;
}
