So for my assignment I have to create the Vector class and apply it .hpp to include the "Vector.h" file and no include the original Vector class. I have a few of the member functions done but am not sure how to begin with the other ones and im wondering what is wrong with my syntax for the operator=. If anyone can help me get the ball rolling it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    *Implementation File*


    #include "Vector.h"
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    const int zero = 0;
    using namespace cop4530;

        template<typename T>
        Vector<T>::Vector( ) : theSize(zero), theCapacity(zero), array(NULL)
        {
        }

        template<typename T>
        Vector<T>::Vector(const Vector &rhs): T(NULL)
        {

        }
       template<typename T>
       Vector<T>::~Vector()
       {
           delete [] array;
       }


        template<typename T>
        bool Vector<T>::empty() const
        {
        }


         template<typename T>
         void Vector<T>::pop_back()
         {
         }
        template<typename T>
        void Vector<T>::push_back(const T & value)
        {
        }
     template<typename T>
       Vector<T>:: const operator=(const Vector &rhs)
       {
           if (this != &rhs)
           {
               delete [] array;
               theSize = rhs.size();
               theCapacity = rhs.theCapacity();

               array = new T[capacity()];

               objects = new T[capacity()];
               for (int i = 0; i < size(); i++) 
               {
                   T[i]= rhs.array[i];
               }
               return *this;
           }
       }

This

const Vector& operator=(const Vector &rhs);

Should be

const Vector<T>& operator=(const Vector<T> &rhs);

And then in you implementation this

Vector<T>:: const operator=(const Vector &rhs)

should be

const Vector<T>&::operator=(const Vector<T> &rhs)

Thank you, btw if the prototype in the class is:
explicit Vector(int num, const T& val = T());

Is the syntax for the function in the implementation file
Vector <T>::explicit Vector(int num, const T& val = T())
