Function parameter overload without rewriting function
-
I have two functions that are the very same code with the only difference that they use different parameters.
@
int getFilterIndex(filter * pF);
int getFilterIndex(ushort freq);
( ... )
bool equalizer::removeFilter(filter * pF){
int index = getFilterIndex(pF);
if (index != -1){
delete filterList.takeAt(index);return true;
}return false;
}bool equalizer::removeFilterAtFreq(ushort freq){
int index = getFilterIndex(freq);
if (index != -1){
delete filterList.takeAt(index);return true;
}return false;
}@I was wondering if it was possible to write the same function once but to be possible to use the same parameter for either a pointer or an ushort ? As you can see the code of those two functions is just copy-paste, it would be a waste to use it like that. I have similar code for 10 other functions as well so your suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I tried to but when i declare the template in my header file the cpp file would not recognize my type. I used this code:
header
@template<typename myType>class equalizer{
...
void removeFilter(myType param);
}@cpp
@void equalizer::removeFilter(myType par){
int index = getFilterIndex(freq);
if (index != -1){
delete filterList.takeAt(index);return true;
}return false;
}@myType in the cpp file is not recognized at all. Redeclaring the template in the cpp file doesn't change a thing.
I never used templates before and I'm not sure what am I doing wrong...EDIT
nevermind, I read a few tutorials and now I got it working. Thank you for help!
