Operator Overloading and passing a template into COnstructor

Ok 2 small problems

I want to have a template array as a private attribute of a class, how do i pass this template into the Constructor?

also i wish to overload an operator, but need to compare attributes of a class which is stored in a template array which itsself is stored in another class, so ive used a pointer to refere to that class.

im really lost if i can even do this yet alone how to do it...any help would save me thanks.

Ask very specific questions and post some (relevant) code to illustrate the problem.

I do not know exactly what you mean, you mean you have a constructor which has a template as argument?

For example, assume you have a type derived from the template class vector and you want to create a constructor which accepts a vector, then you could do something like this:

Code:

template <class T>
SortedVector<T>::SortedVector (const vector<T>& v): vector<T> (v)
{
    // Perhaps sort the vector and do other stuff
}

Hmmm, a little bit confusing. So you have a template array which consists of elements of class A and the template array is stored in a class B? Then you should make an interface to the elements of class A so that you can reach them. For example a get-function in class A, in your class you can then call the n-th element's get-function.
