Thread: returning pointer to a struct defined inside a class

I have a problem with doing this

Code:

.h file

class c1{

  private:

     struct node{
               int value;
      };

  struct node *getvalue();

  public:

       ...

};

Code:

.cpp file

struct node* c1::getvalue(){ ...}

it doesnt let me do this.. can someone please explain me why?

thanks in advance

thanks a lot
