Hello! I have a small problem with templates. This is the first time I try to make one and doesn''t work. Heres the code (i know its ugly) #include <iostream> using namespace std; template void Add(T*, int); int main(void) { int tar[10]; int i; for(i = 0; i < 10; i++) tar = i * 2; Add(tar, 10); return 0; } template void Add(T* target, int size) { for(int i=0; i < size; i++) ++target; } I don''t know what the problem is but i cannot compile it. </i>

Hmmm, where did you learn to write templates like that?

Anyway, it would look more like this:

Add<int*>(tar, 10);template<class T> void Add(T* target, int size) 

Since you''re explicitely specifying int* as the template parameter (hint: you don''t have to), the compiler expects target to be an int**. Which tar isn''t : it''s an int[10], which decays into an int*.
