using structures with templates

[magezi]

How do you pass data in a structure to a function defined in a template class.(Just like the case for primitive types int char or even arrays.)

I mean:
if you have:

template<class T>
class node{
T data;
int size;
public:
node()
{
size = 0;
}
void insert(T data);
}

it is possible to make the following declaration in the main program :

int main()
{
node<int> s;
node<float> q;
.
.
.
}

so that T can accept int or char values;

Now suppose I had data from this struycture:

struct student{
int ID;
char name[25];
}
How would I use some template fuction to pass such data to it and possibly be able to create a list ?

thanx every body.

If you're just trying to create a linked list, why not just use the STL's list class?

The not-as-easy solution, if you don't want to use the STL's list class, is to define an operator =() function for the student class so that the assignment operation in the insert() function will work.
