Hello Abhinav,
Your questions seem like basic C++ questions; I'm not the right person
to answer those. You might try starting with the C++ FAQ [1], any of
the easily searchable introductions to templates ([2], for example), or
Alexandrescu's "Modern C++ Design" book [3].
[1] http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq/
[2] http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/com-tech/atl/tutorials/article.php/c3617/An-Introduction-to-C-Templates.htm
[3] http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Design-Generic-Programming-Patterns/dp/0201704315
Once you've read through those you should be able to better comprehend
the problems you are having.
Thanks,
Ryan
