Help With An error , I give up !

[Kain0o0]

Hello , thanks for any help in advance.
Im writing some code for a c++ class and the proffessor wants us to
implement a list template using arrays.
I thought this would be an easy task but have been stuck with the same
error and i cant seem to fix it. I think its the constructor but i dont
know how to fix it .

My error is:
List error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall
List<double,80>::List<double,80>(void)" (??0?$List@N$0FA@@@QAE@XZ)
referenced in function _main

My Code:

********
list.h
********
template <class DATA, int MAX_LIST_SIZE>
class List
// Stores a list of DATA with the member functions shown below.
// Positions in the list are numbered starting with 1 (not 0).
{
public:
// constuctors -- no destructor needed
List();
List(const List<DATA,MAX_LIST_SIZE>& original);

// accessors

bool isEmpty() const;
bool isFull() const;
int getLength() const { return _firstOpen; }
DATA retrieve (int position, bool& success) const;

// mutators
void insert (int position, DATA newItem, bool& success);
// inserts newItem into specifice position
// --- except that, if position is past the end of the list,
// inserts at the end of the list
void remove(int position, bool& success);

private:
DATA _element[MAX_LIST_SIZE];
// For space efficiency, I'll store the 1st element
// in position 0; the second, in position 1, etc.
int _firstOpen;
};

The class is a template class - to instantiate a particular instance of
a template class, the whole class definition must be visible in the
particular translation unit. In listTest, you need to include list.cpp
in order to resolve your problem.

Don't make someone a *priority* who only makes you an *option*...

I tried that but that wasnt it , its driving me insane
oh im using Visual C++ .Net

 

[Srini]

I don't have any problems compiling and executing your code with the
Microsoft optimising C++ compiler - ver 13.10.3077.

Really?!
I gave up on the error and will just attempt to ask the proffessor
tommorow , im not sure if the error I'm getting is specific to .Net ,
i've seen it do crazy things sometimes!

thanks for the input though , and if anyone else can shed some light on
this issue please do so
