Re: template function member with const classifier

Hi,

I'm trying to create an template class that represent points in all
possible dimensions, what I've made until now is

#ifndef _POINT_HPP_
#define _POINT_HPP_

#include <vector>

template <typename T>
class Point{
private:
   std::vector<T> coordinates;

public:
   explicit Point( int n );

   Point( const Point<T>& other );

   Point( const std::vector<T>& coord );

   ~Point();

   std::vector<T> Get_Coordinates() const;

   void Set_Coordinates( const std::vector<T>& coord );

   void Translate( const std::vector<T>& coord );

   void Scale( const T& factor );

   //unsigned int Distance( const Point<T>& other );

   //unsigned int Distance_Origin()

   void WriteLn();

private:
   static const int Expt_Different_Sizes;

};

template <typename T>
Point<T>::Point( int n ):
   coordinates( n )
{
}

template <typename T>
Point<T>::Point( const Point<T>& other ):
   coordinates( other.coordinates )
{
}

template <typename T>
Point<T>::Point( const std::vector<T>& coord ):
   coordinates( coord )
{
}

template <typename T>
Point<T>::~Point()
{
}

template <typename T>
void Point<T>::Set_Coordinates( const std::vector<T>& coord )
{
   if( coordinates.size() != coord.size() )
     throw Point<T>::Expt_Different_Sizes;
   else
     {
     for( int i=0; i<coordinates.size(); i++ )
       coordinates[i] = coord[i];
     }
}

template <typename T>
std::vector<T> Get_Coordinates() const
{
   return coordinates;
}

template <typename T>
void Point<T>::Translate( const std::vector<T>& coord )
{
   if( coordinates.size() != coord.size() )
     throw Point<T>::Expt_Different_Sizes;

   // Add the two coordinates
   for( int i = 0; i < coordinates.size(); ++i )
     coordinates[i] = coordinates[i] + coord[i];
}

template <typename T>
void Point<T>::Scale( const T& factor )
{
   if( factor == 0 )
     throw Point<T>::Expt_Divide_By_Zero;
   else
     {
     for( int i = 0; i< coordinates.size(); i++ )
       coordinates[i] = coordinates[i]/factor;
     }
}

template <typename T>
void Point<T>::WriteLn()
{
   typename std::vector<T>::iterator pos;

   for( pos = coordinates.begin(); pos < coordinates.end(); ++pos)
     std::cout << *pos << " ";

   std::cout << std::endl;
}

// Specify the exception code
template <typename T>
const int Point<T>::Expt_Different_Sizes = 1;

template <typename T>
const int Point<T>::Expt_Divide_By_Zero = 2;

#endif

But I'm getting the errors

In file included from src/GUI.cpp:12:
include/point.hpp:84: error: non-member function `std::vector<T,
    std::allocator<_CharT> > Get_Coordinates()' cannot have `const' method
    qualifier

include/point.hpp:127: error: `const int Point<T>::Expt_Divide_By_Zero'
is not
    a static member of `class Point<T>'

include/point.hpp:127: error: template definition of non-template `const
int
    Point<T>::Expt_Divide_By_Zero'

make: *** [GUI.o] Error 1

Can any one give me an inch about want I'm doing wrong? If you could
send me some links I would appreciate.
