Error: expected unqualified-id before ‘<’ token - c++

Question

I am trying to make some sort of templated Queue class. It seems ok but I am getting 2 errors in the same line which I can't figure out why. The errors appear in the implementation file .cpp where I am trying to give the definition for the destructor. Here is the code of the header file of the class:
#ifndef QUEUETP_H_INCLUDED
#define QUEUETP_H_INCLUDED
template <class T>
class QueueTp
{
private:
struct Node { T item; struct Node * next;};
enum {QSIZE = 10};
//Queue's head
Node *head;
//Queue's tail
Node *tail;
int size;
int maxsize;
QueueTp(const QueueTp & q);
QueueTp & operator=(const QueueTp & q) { return *this;}
public:
QueueTp(): size(0),head(0),tail(0),maxsize(QSIZE) {};
QueueTp(int q = QSIZE): size(0),head(0),tail(0),maxsize(q) {};
~QueueTp();
bool isEmpty(){return size==0;}
bool isFull() {return size==maxsize;}
int sizecur() {return size;}
bool push(const T& t);
bool pop(T& t);
};
#include "QueueTp.cpp"
#endif // QUEUETP_H_INCLUDED
And here is the definition of the destructor in the implementation file:
#include "QueueTp.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
typename <class T> //<-<-<- in this line I am getting the two errors
QueueTp<class T>::~QueueTp()
{
Node *ptr;
cout<<endl<<"Deleting the queue...";
while (head !=NULL)
{
ptr = head->next;
delete head;
head = ptr;
}
}
//......other method definitions
The errors are pointed above and the specific error messages I get from the compiler are the ones below.
error: expected nested-name-specifier before ‘<’ token|
error: expected unqualified-id before ‘<’ token|

Answer 1

Please use "template" instead of "typename" on the line where you are getting the two error messages! I find that most of the time, an unidentified keyword or a real keyword in the wrong place often gives errors similar to an undefined type, the next symbol after it would cause an error.
