This course will walk you through the newest version of C++ 20, C++ Concepts.

You will go through one of the most significant new features in C++20, which is Concepts. Concepts allow you to create compiler-checked criteria for template parameters, revolutionizing the way you think about and develop generic code. You can use them to provide both syntactic and semantic requirements. They also allow you to explicitly express your goal in the type system. If something goes wrong, you'll get a clear error message from the compiler.

While useful, Concepts can be difficult to apply and even confusing sometimes. This course provides you with the knowledge you need to overcome these obstacles and move on to more complex topics.

Let's get started.

C++ Concepts: Improve Type Safety with C++ 20

 
## Problem
Write a function that takes two real numbers as parameters and returns the GCD of two numbers. 

### Restriction
We can only use a template function based on the trailing `requires` clause.

### Input
Two floating numbers `a` and `b`, as shown below
```c++
a = 0.3, b = 0.9
```

### Output
A real number, as shown below.
```c++
0.3
```


### Sample main function

```c++
int main()
{
    std::cout<<gcd(0.3,0.9)<<'\n';
}
```

>**Note:** We don’t need to write the main function in the code below.


###  Challenge
Try it yourself first. If you have trouble getting to the solution, you can always press the “Show Solution” button to see how to solve the problem. We’ll go through the in-depth solution in the next lesson.

Good luck!
