You should have given a more or less complete example here, but anyway:


template <class typ> // <- Use this at the top of a class definition.
class test {
public:
  virtual void fun(typ var) { }
  virtual void gun(typ var);
};

template <class typ> // <- Or at the top of a class method definition.
void test<typ>::gun(typ var)
{
  //. . .
}

this creates a generic class called `test' to actually use this template,
you will have to _instantiate_ it.

test<char> testobject;

...

testobject.fun('X');

Read a book on C++ programming about this. C++ the Language ?th Ed, by
Bjarne Strourstrup. I forget what edition I used, but check out the
latest edition if possible.

HTH.
