Debugging

in C++ why can i not globally define:
typedef vector< struct { double x,y,z; }; > meshMap;
?
i get these two, twice:
program.h expected init-declarator before '<' token
program.h expected `,' or `;' before '<' token
( the second set are for the '>' chevron.. )

youre code is a very good example of why people should not start with C++ as a first language.

Take the advice given and learn C and/or Java first and save yourself a lot of needless headaches
