Why is this happening ?

Question

Could you please run this code and tell me why the result is.. you will see the result , an error ! What I did wrong and how can I make it work ?

The code :

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

template <typename Type>

class MyClass
{
public:
Type sum(Type a, Type b)
{
return a+b;
}
};

template <>
class MyClass<string>
{
public:
string Afiseaza(string a)
{
cout<<a;
}
};

int main()
{
MyClass<float> *obj;
cout<<obj->sum(2.2,3.2)<<endl;

MyClass<string> obj1;
cout<<obj1.Afiseaza("Ceva")<<endl;
}

Answer 1

Well, let's see…
1. You have a class with a template declaration but no template cast type, intresting.
2. That class has a public method that has a string return type but returns nothing, plot thickens.
2.5. That function calls the stdout buffer and then sends itself to stdout buffer. (~_~¡)

What you need to do is add a return statement to the function Afifseaza of templated class MyClass<string>. Make sure it returns a string class object.
