}

it is giving following error
error C2244: 'Array<T>::operator []' : unable to match function definition to an existing declaration. what am i doing wrong here??
norm b (337)
I think the return type in the definition declaration of that function should be "T" not "float".

Edit: It was late but cniper figured out what I meant.
