It's easier just to do

v=new T[size]();

(note the parentheses), and the array will be zero-initialised.

       cout<<"Hello 1";
    }

    vector(T *a)
    {
        //v=new T[size];
        for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
           v[i]=a[i];

What if the pointer points to an array that is smaller than 'size'? You
would get *undefined behaviour*!

     cout<<"Hello";
    }

    /*void operator=(const T *a)
    {
       for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
           v[i]=a[i];
    }*/

    T operator*(const vector &y)
    {
        T prod=0;

        for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
           prod += this->v[i] * y.v[i];

        return prod;
