I came across a question which asked the difference between Function Templates and Template Functions in C++ and also Template Classes and Class Templates. I was under the impression that Function Templates and Template Functions were the same thing. Is there any difference between the two, if so what is it? |

No difference at all. If you google for it, you can see that somewhere it is defined as function templates and somewhere as template function.
Your understanding was correct. |

They are the same thing. The Standardese is "function template" and "class template", however many people (including myself) tend to refer to them as "template function" and "template class", for the simple and obvious reason that when you define one, first you write "template" and then you write "class", or a function. Hence, they are often referred to as both. |
