You need typename to tell the compiler that ::iterator is supposed to be a type. The compiler doesn't know that it's a type because it doesn't know what T is until you instantiate the template. It could also refer to some static data member, for example.
That's your first error.
Change T::iterator i; to typename T::const_iterator i; because ::iterator is of type T and v is a const &.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
