Quick function questions?

[Dkob1]

Is this a generic function of a function template?

template <typename T>
T lowerNumber(T x, T y) {   // returns the lower number of x and y
   return (x < y ? x : y);

}

How do you use STL vector class to declare a 7x24 matrix?

   const int N_DAYS = 7;
   const int N_HOURS = 24;
   int schedule[N_DAYS][N_HOURS];

Is this it: vector< vector<int> >schedule(N_DAYS, vector<int>(N_HOURS)); ?

It is both. C++ uses templates to support generic programming.

Yes.

Since the sizes are constants, std::array<> is another option.
std::array< std::array<int,N_HOURS>, N_DAYS > schedule {};
