Templates
Templates are sections of code that occur frequently enough that you would like to be able to insert them with a few keystrokes. This function is known as Content Assist; the sections of code that are inserted are known as templates.
To insert an existing Content Assist template into a file, such as one for an if statement, type the initial character ("i" in this case), then press Ctrl+Space. The templates that begin with that character appear. Double-click on a template to insert it into a file.
You can edit the existing Content Assist templates or create new
ones using the 
C/C++
> Editor > Templates preference pane.
