Templates and Vectors

[Evrardo]

I was just curiuos. I'm making an implementation of a heap and I am considering using vectors. But I need to use templates as well. I don't know why it wouldn't work, but can I use templates in vectors?
example:

template<class T>
vector<T> myvector;

would that work?

thanks.

vector's are already templatized so I suspect your syntax is a
little off. If you're making your own templatized class, it can,
indeed, contain a vector data member for the type.
Consider:

#include <vector>
using namespace std;

template <typename T>
class MyClass
{
private:
   vector<T> m_vector;
};


void main()
{
   MyClass<int> intObject;
}

Paul, I think he may want to do this (just a guess of coarse):

template <class T>
class MyTemplate
{
    // ...
};

typedef std::vector<MyTemplate<SomeClass>> MyVector;

And yes, this is possible.

...with a space between the '>' symbols, of course.

Sorry, I'm in a pedantic mood today

Yes, of coarse -- I think I fall into that trap about every time I write a template that contains a template!!! You think I would have learned by now!
