I can't seem to resolve a syntax error, that is only occuring when I use a template with a pointer. Its just a basic linked list, here is the first part of my header file:
and the error message I am getting is as follows:Code:#ifndef LISTTEMP_H #define LISTTEMP_H #include <iostream> template <class type> class listtemp{ public: const listtemp <type>& operator= (const listtemp<type>&); void initializelist(); bool islistempty(); bool islistfull(); void print(); int length(); void destroylist (); void retrievefirst(type& firstelement); listtemp(); listtemp(const listtemp <type>& otherlist); ~listtemp(); protected: nodetype<type> *first; //line 25 nodetype<type> *last; }; template <class type> bool listtemp<type>::islistempty(){ return (first == null); } template <class type> bool listtemp<type>::islistfull(){ return false; } template <class type> listtemp<type>::listtemp(){ first = NULL; last = NULL; } template <class type> void listtemp<type>::destroylist(){ nodetype<type> *temp; //line 49 }

I have checked multiple references allready, and my code syntax looks the same, so I'm guessing it may be compiler related, however I am not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated.
