Is there any way to use "one single template parameter" for several different "std::class types"?

-Hello everyone, I’m pretty much a beginner.
-Is there anyway that I can merge "the 2 following function templates" into a single one?
, like we can use T3= { std::list<T || std::forward_list } and then merge these 2 functions into one?
-My heavy gratitude in advance 🙂 .

#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <forward_list>

template <class T> void prinList(std::list<T> list){
    for (auto var : list){ std::cout << var << " "; }
    std::cout << '\n';
}
template <class T> void prinList(std::forward_list<T> list){
    for (auto var : list){ std::cout << var << " "; }
    std::cout << '\n';
}
int main(){
    std::forward_list<int> F_list1={1,2,3,4,5};
    prinList(F_list1);

    std::list<int> list1={10,11,12,13};
    prinList(list1);

    return 0;
}

>Solution :

You can do it the following way:

#include <iostream>
#include <list>
#include <forward_list>

template <class T> void prinList(T const & list) {
    for (auto var : list) { std::cout << var << " "; }
    std::cout << '\n';
}

int main() {
    std::forward_list<int> F_list1 = { 1,2,3,4,5 };
    prinList(F_list1);

    std::list<int> list1 = { 10,11,12,13 };
    prinList(list1);

    return 0;
}

Output:

1 2 3 4 5
10 11 12 13

Note that the list parameter is accepted by a const & to avoid copy and also protect against attempt to modify the list.

Note also that list can be in fact any container or similar class that supports the range-based loop, making the function more generic (you might want to rename it accordingly).
