Instanceof equivalent in template class in C++

Question

I have template class

template <typename T>
class BST {
public:
      Node<T>* root;
...

and I would like to modify behaviour of insert function depending on T type.

I look for something like

if(T instanceof Pair){

}

Answer 1

You can use std::is_same:

if (std::is_same<T, Pair>::value)
