If there is such a function in a variadic template?

Question

for example there is such a template

template<class ... Types> void f(Types ... args);

f();       // OK: args contains no arguments
f(1);      // OK: args contains one argument: int
f(2, 1.0); // OK: args contains two arguments: int and double

and I want to do so in it

template<class ... T>
void f2(T... args) {
  // option 1
  // > hello // world // human
  std::cout <<(args / ...);

  // option 2
  // > hello // world
  std::cout <<((args / ...) and -1 args); // ../
}

in the example, option 2 We are concatenating the Hello and world string and at the same time not using the human, since we don't need it yet.

if it is possible of course

f2("hello", "world", "human");

then

get one less argument inside the function to use it inside the function

For this call:

f2("A", "b", 12);

Expected result should be equivalent to this:

std::cout << "A";
std::cout << "b";

// no statement or different action for: std::cout << 12;

and if possible without arrays and recursions if there is no such functionality, then write that it is not there.

You want to apply something to all the arguments? Such as print each one in turn? — StoryTeller - Unslander Monica, Jan 28 '21 at 10:18
yes I want to get each argument inside the function separately, or by plus or mnus one — Doydgon K., Jan 28 '21 at 10:19
although I write when calling 3 arguments, inside the function I want to use 2 arguments in the if condition and in the second condition I will use 3 arguments — Doydgon K., Jan 28 '21 at 10:21
@DoydgonK. after your comment under my answer, your question become more clear. So I've improved your question (so anyone could understood it) and I've found respective duplicate. — Marek R, Jan 28 '21 at 10:36
I think the duplicate is outdated, it was written 7 years ago, and there is a lot of code :) — Doydgon K., Jan 28 '21 at 10:42

template<bool condition, typename T>
void printIf(T&& arg)
{
    if constexpr (condition) std::cout << arg;
}

template<size_t...indexes, class ... T>
void printAllButLastHelper(std::integer_sequence<size_t, indexes...> v, T&&... args) {
    (printIf<sizeof...(args) - 1 != indexes>(args), ...);
}

template<class ... T>
void f2(T&&... args) {
    std::cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << '\n';
    printAllButLastHelper(
        std::make_integer_sequence<size_t, sizeof...(args)>{}, 
        std::forward<T>(args)...);
    std::cout << '\n';
}
