Templates and arrays of Nodes

Im making a tree type structure, it has 26 branches, each for a letter of the alphabet. i was wondering how can i make an array of pointers to a Node struct.

Code:

---

template <class T>
struct Nodes
{
...
};
typedef struct Nodes Node;

template <class T>
class Foo
{
  Node *list[26];
public:
...
};

---

will this work?

Node<T>* list[26];

Are you sure? some of the tutorials i read dont have the <T> there.

>> Are you sure?

No, but if you compile the code with the <T> and again without, one works and one doesn't. You have to specify the template type of Node somehow, which is why the <T> should be in there.

Code:

---

template <class T>
struct Node
{
};

template <class T>
class Foo
{
  Node *list[26];
public:
};

int main()
{
    Foo<int> ifoo;
}

---

Code:

---

error C2955: 'Node' : use of class template requires template argument list

---

how is the compiler going to know what type to make Node if you don't tell it to? You definitely need to use Node<T> maybe the book had a typo, you will learn that there are a lot of errors in technical books, more than you would imagine.
