Please say me what is the difference betweem typename and class in templates ? Thanks. -:KNOX:- -- modified at 9:11 Wednesday 28th June, 2006

AFAIK one difference is that 1)'typename' can only be used in template definitions. 2) 'class' - could be for both class and template definitions. Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-) _AnShUmAn_

I think they both have the same effect when are used in template declaration: template< class T > ... can be replaced with: template< typename T > ... But typename keyword has one more meaning when is used within the declared template class. -- modified at 9:32 Wednesday 28th June, 2006

When dealing with templates, there is no difference between them. If you decide to become a software engineer, you are signing up to have a 1/2" piece of silicon tell you exactly how stupid you really are for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week Zac
