this is a template stack class. the error




error: expected initializer before '<' token



const Item stack<Item>::size_type



occurs for all my functions.



template<class Item>
const Item stack<Item>::size_type
stack<Item>::CAPACITY;

template<class Item>
void stack<Item>::push(const Item &entry) {
assert(size() > CAPACITY);
data[used] = entry;
++used;
}

template<class Item>
void stack<Item>::pop() {
assert(!empty());
--used;

}

template<class Item>
Item stack<Item>::top() const {
assert(!empty());
return data[used - 1];
}

template<class Item>
void stack<Item>::print() {
std::cout << size() const << endl;

  • Probably not your issue per se, but it seems odd that stack<Item>::size_type would be of type Item and not some integral type

  • const Item stack<Item>::size_type stack<Item>::CAPACITY; should be const stack<Item>::size_type stack<Item>::CAPACITY = SomeValue;
