Hello,

This is for an assignment I am trying to complete. For a previous assignment, I had to create a linked list class for integers. I was able to get that working fine. This assignment is to convert the linked list class into a template so that it can be a linked list of anything.

I figured the best way to start was to take the linked list class for intergers, scale it back to just a few methods, and then convert it to a template.

I converted my two classes. One was a Node class(which had a data member and a pointer to Node) and the other was Linked List (which had the pointer to the head node, a int member to keep track of the number of nodes in the list, and methods to pop, push, insert nodes). For the template version of the LinkedList class I just started with the push method and the constructors and destructors.

With just the .h and .cpp files for the classes defined, the compiling works without error. But when I try to establish a variable of type LinkedList in a harness program I receive the following errors, but am uncertain how to resolve.

You'll either have to include the cpp file in your driver file or move all the template methods into the header file(a more common method). The compiler and not just the linker needs to be able to see these methods in the same file as the template instance to instantiate the template object.
