How to implement template classes and structs inside classes (C++)?

Say I have a template class declared as follows:





template %26lt;class T%26gt;


class whatever {


private:


struct Node {


//...


};


Node* find();


//...


};





I want to implement the find() member function but I don't know how. What I tried doing was as follows:





template %26lt;class T%26gt;


whatever%26lt;T%26gt;::Node whatever%26lt;T%26gt;::find() {


}





But that doesn't work. Do I simply have to implement the function inside the class definition? That apparently works just fine. If that's the case, should I just implement all member functions inside the class definition for stylistic reasons?

Ummm... I think that you need to try this outside the class:





template%26lt;class T%26gt;


whatever::Node *find(){


//Your find routine here.


}





You got a little tangled up in the template thing there,


I think. I hope this helps you out.
