How to return a copy of the data in C++
- by Josh Curren
I am trying to return a new copy of the data in a C++ Template class. The following code is getting this error: invalid conversion from ‘int*’ to ‘int’. If I remove the new T then I am not returning a copy of the data but a pointer to it.
template<class T>
T OrderedList<T>::get( int k )
{
Node<T>* n = list;
for( int i = 0; i < k; i++ )
{
n=n->get_link();
}
return new T( n->get_data() ); // This line is getting the error **********
}
