    'MathUtil' followed by 'int' is illegal (did you forget a ';'?)

    While trying to run the code below:

    Code:
    #ifndef DTW
    #define DTW
    
    #include <iostream>
    #include<vector>
    #include<algorithm>
    #include<cmath>
    #include <deque>
    #include <sstream>
    #include <windows.h>
    
    typedef double floattype;
    
    using namespace std;
    
    class MathUtil {
    	public:
    		static inline int min (int x, int y ) { return x < y ? x : y;}
    		static inline int max (int x, int y ) { return x > y ? x : y}
    };
    I get bunch of errors:

    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(33) : error C2062: type 'int' unexpected
    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(33) : error C2334: unexpected token(s) preceding ':'; skipping apparent function body
    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(33) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before '}'
    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(33) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '}' before ')'
    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(33) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'
    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(33) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '}'
    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(33) : error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'
    1>d:\dtw\dtw\dtw.h(34) : error C2628: 'MathUtil' followed by 'int' is illegal (did you forget a ';'?)

    Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    Thanx in advance!!

    Looks to me like the compiler doesn't know what #include<vector> is (and likely the next couple of lines).

    Line 33..? The code you posted doesn't have 33 lines. There's a semicolon missing in max. Other than that it looks fine to me. If it really reports errors about this piece of code, my best guess is that you're trying to commpile it with a C compiler. What compiler are you using?

    The names "min" and "max" are dangerous, because windows.h, in Microsoft's most idiotic move in the history of the WinAPI, defines function-style macros by those names.
    All the buzzt!
