Need typename error (template related error)

Question

I have a class called node inside another class which is templated. Some of the methods of class Node returns Node pointer. This is an excerpt of how I implemented

Answer 1

To clarify, the compiler has no idea that myClass::Node is now or ever will be a type. Think of it this way:

template 
class A
{
public:
    typedef T value_type;
};

template 
class B
{
public:
   typename A::value_type x;
};

template <> A { public: static int value_type=10;}

You have to make the promise to the compiler that the type is a typename. It defaults to assuming that it is a value.
