STL help

How come I can do like this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
       
        // Some constants
        const int nRows = 5;
        const int nCols = 11;

        //Typedefs to save our fingers and improve readability
        typedef vector<char> cArrayRow;
        typedef vector<cArrayRow> cArray;

        // Make an array:

        cArray myArray(nRows,cArrayRow(nCols));
}

---

but not like this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
        const int nRows = 5;
        const int nCols = 11;
        vector<vector<char>> test(nRows, vector<char>(nCols));
}

---

I dont know much about STL but why can I do the former but not the later since they seem to be quite the same to me, only one uses typedefs and the other doesnt.
Even this wont work:

Code:

---

vector<vector<char>> test;

---

Add a space between the >.

Code:

---

vector<vector<char> > ...
