I’m looking for two small code samples to help me work with one of our
junior developers in debugging his application.  It’s been awhile
since I’ve done any professional programming and I’m not overly
proficient in C++…

I’m looking for two small sample applications, including source code
(preferably developed in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0).

The first sample should be well-commented and clearly show an
appropriate use of C++ templates to handle a variety of data types in
the function parameter – something using integers and real numbers,
for instance.

The second sample should also be well-commented and include functions
to correctly perform addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division of complex numbers.  The focus of the second sample should be
on the methods used to perform the math, as well as a perhaps two
different implementations, one using any C++ -specific complex number
datatypes or libraries (if any exist!) and the second using discrete
variables to hold the real and imaginary parts, solving the problem
algebraically.

The code should compile cleanly and be developed with an eye toward
providing a sample to build upon rather than being production-ready in
itself.

Dear cerebus-ga,

Thank you for your question.  
I have created a zip file of two sample Visual C++ projects
for you--please download them from:

http://csua.berkeley.edu/~pchen/samples.zip

The first Visual C++ project is templatesamples.dsw, and 
the second is complexsamples.dsw.

Please see the ReadMe file within each directory
and also consult the main code files--the comments 
are in there.

Please use the Ask for Clarification feature of Google Answers
should there be any questions.  

Thanks for using Google Answers!

I have added some more comments to templatesamples.cpp

Quick response.  Delivered exactly what was asked for with good
explanation.  Excellent job!

I just ran across this question, and found the answer interesting
(since I'm trying to get up to speed in Visual C++ 6.0).  But when I
tried to download the Zip file
(http://csua.berkeley.edu/~pchen/samples.zip) it was unavailable.  Is
there some way of still accessing those sample projects?
