Using a templated parameter's value_type

Question

How is one supposed to use a std container\'s value_type?
I tried to use it like so:

#include 

using namespace std;

template

Here is a full implementation of the accepted answers above, in case it helps anyone.

#include 
#include 

template 
class C1 {
  private:
    T container;
    typedef typename T::value_type CT;
  public:
    void push(CT& item) {
        container.push_back(item);
    }

    CT pop (void) {
        CT item = container.front();
        container.pop_front();
        return item;
    }
};

int main() {
    int i = 1;
    C1 > c;
    c.push(i);
    std::cout << c.pop() << std::endl;
}
