Templates compilation

Hi, I am a beginner programmer in C++, encountering a compiling issue when i tried to debug a program related to the templates..
Brief code is
Template <class x> void my function( x a, x b)
{
//body
}

when i wrote this code and complied , getting an error saying " type name missing"

Do I have to use a latest compiler for this or is ther some other issue in it like have to add any include libraries...

Thanks

its "template" and not "Template" watch the case.
This works

Code:

---

#include<iostream.h>

template <class T> T Add(T x,T y)
{
        return (x+y);
}

int main()
{
        cout<<Add(12,13)<<endl;
        return 0;
}

Bharani.

1. C++ is a case-sensitive language, so it should be 'template' not 'Template'.
2. names in any programming language cannot include space as in 'my function'. it should be myfunction or my_function.

Not on the compiler that I use or many ANSI standard compiler. The correct standard header is <iostream>, not <iostream.h>
