Can I use 1 template function instead of 2?

[grscot]

Dear all,

I have two template functions for displaying books and members respectively from arrays.

template<class Object>
void List<Object>::displayBook(char* type)
{
	if (num_elements == 0)
		cout<<&quot;No &quot;<<type<<&quot; is found in the &quot;<<type<<&quot; array.\n&quot;;
	else
		for(int element=0; element<this->num_elements; element++)
		{
			cout<<'\n';
			this->element_list[element]->display(association_list.get_member(element_list[element]));
		}
}

template<class Object>
void List<Object>::displayMember(char* type)
{
	if (num_elements == 0)
		cout<<&quot;No &quot;<<type<<&quot; is found in the &quot;<<type<<&quot; array.\n&quot;;
	else
		for(int element=0; element<this->num_elements; element++)
		{
			cout<<'\n';
			this->element_list[element]->display(association_list.get_book(element_list[element]));
		}
}

The function protoypes are:

Member* get_member(Book* book);
Book* get_book(Member* member);

and the functions implementation code is:

template<class Book,class Member>
Member* AssociationList<Book,Member>::get_member(Book* book)
{
	Member* member=0;
	bool searching=true;
	int index=0;

	while(searching)
	{
		if (this->association_list[index])
			if (this->association_list[index]->linked_book()==book)
			{
				member=this->association_list[index]->linked_member();
				searching=false;
			}
			else
				index++;
		else
			index++;
		if (searching && (index == LIST_SIZE))
		{
			searching=false;
		}
	}
	return member;
}

template<class Book,class Member>
Book* AssociationList<Book,Member>::get_book(Member* member)
{
	Book* book=0;
	bool searching=true;
	int index=0;

	while(searching)
	{
		if (this->association_list[index])
			if (this->association_list[index]->linked_member()==member)
			{
				book=this->association_list[index]->linked_book();
				searching=false;
			}
			else
				index++;
		else
			index++;
		if (searching && (index == LIST_SIZE))
		{
			searching = false;
		}
	}
	return book;
}

Could someone tell me how can I use One Template Function Instead of Two (if this is possible)?

Apologies for posting the similar question many times.
