New to templates
Write your question here.
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template <class T>
T max (T x, T y)
{
string result;
if (x > y)
cout << x << " is bigger than " << y;
else if (x == y)
cout << x << " is equal to " << y;
else
cout << y << " is bigger than " << x;
}
int main()
{
double x = 5.6, y = 4.4;
max (x, y);
}

Your function says it returns an object of type "T", so where is the return statement to do that?
Also, don't call your function max.
There already are functions named std::max, and by writing
Your code is a perfect demonstration of why we say don't write

using namespace std; , if any of them are visible to the compiler (especially the one that takes two double parameters), it won't know which function you mean.Your code is a perfect demonstration of why we say don't write
