Thread: STL problem

I have a problem using STL. When I type the following code into my program:

Code:

typedef std::multiset<int, std::less<int>> ims;

The following error happens:

d:\vs 6.0 test\testex34.cpp(8) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ',' before identifier 'ims'
d:\vs 6.0 test\testex34.cpp(8) : error C2065: 'ims' : undeclared identifier
d:\vs 6.0 test\testex34.cpp(8) : error C2143: syntax error : missing '>' before ';'
d:\vs 6.0 test\testex34.cpp(8) : warning C4091: 'typedef ' : ignored on left of 'class std::multiset' when no variable is declared

I don't understand what seem to be the error. Can you help me? Thank you for your help.

Note: I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0

Add a space between the last two angle brackets:

Code:

typedef std::multiset<int, std::less<int> > ims;

Otherwise the compiler gets confused and parses the line incorrectly.

You shouldn't have to specify std::less<int> as a comparator. It's already the default.
