I'm in the early stage of trying to convert an array class containing operator overloading into a templatized class. At the moment I'm trying to add the template definition to the class and each function. This should be fairly simple however, whenever I run the program I get a scope error.
The compiler says `T' was not declared in this scope (I will comment the error on the line that it occurs). The error also re-occurs on the other function definitions. I'm using a program invovling a templatized class as a guide and it implements the functions in the exact manner that I am trying to(which is why I'm confused). What do I need to do to resolve this?
Thank you.
