Hello!
 I am kind of new to C++ and am unable to compile the following
template class set up! I looked in ARM and Lippman Book and also referred
to FAQ but with little luck.. Please let me know if I am missing
something or ......

Thank you all very much!!

(1) ****************************

I declared a template class:
 template <class T, int size>
 class X   {
 public :
  X();
  ....
  ...
 };

and I am unable to create an instantiation of the class.
for example if I declare: X x<int, 75>;

I got the following error ... ARM and Lippman book didnt help much! I also
looked in FAQ hoping to find some answer to these questions!!

"./X.H", line 59: error:  template argument for formal: size is not
a suitable constant.


(2) ****************************
  For the above class i declared a prototype of outstream operator
in the following way:
template <class T, int size>
 ostream &operator<<(ostream&, X<T,size>);

 Once again, it wouldnt compile giving me the following error!!

/X.H", line 16: error:  function template parameter size must be a type

 Look right to me.

 Function templates can only take class types.
