Thread: template help

Hi,
I'm reading about template. And here's a bit of code that I don't understand. It's a code for a stack.

Code:

template <class Type>
class Stack
{
private:
  enum{SIZE = 10};
  int stack_size;
  Type * items;
  int top;
   .
   .
   .

and in main, it would say:

Code:

Stack<const char*> st;

If I pass "const char *" into the template, would that make "items" type "char **"?

To be fair, it would make items of type const char*. That's what you push and pop. The internal representation of that stack if using a pointer to that type, const char*, so yes, it would be const char**.

thank you guys for the quick reply. I got it now.
