Passing types ( int , std::vector ) into templates as if they were data. 2. Metafunctions C Template Metaprogramming Concepts
Uses a using alias or typedef to return a new type (e.g., removing a const qualifier). 3. SFINAE (Substitution Failure Is Not An Error) In standard C++, a function takes values and returns a value

These allow you to write logic that looks like normal C++ but is guaranteed to run at compile time, significantly reducing the complexity of traditional template syntax. Why Use It? In standard C++
