Why am I getting this error on earth?

This header file is exactly as it is in the textbook.

4 50 C:\Dev-Cpp\MalikChapter10\Example10-1\orderedArrayListType.h [Error] expected template-name before '<' token

1. Your orderedArrayListType.h does not include the arrayListType.h. If the translation units that do include orderedArrayListType.h do not also include arrayListType.h (first) either, then compiler cannot know about the template.

2. Implementations of templates must be included into translation units. They cannot, as general rule, be compiled as separate translation rules.
