I'm trying to make a stack of strings and I'm getting ambiguous symbol errors on lines 22, 30, 43, and 58. The error is coming from the word stack, but I thought I was supposed to use the class name. Can anyone help me understand what is causing this?
#include <iostream>
#include <stack>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
//Define the stack class, set default stack size to 7
//use a template to define type at later point
template<class T,int size=7>
class stack
{
private: T data[size];
int stack_ptr;
public:
stack(void);
void push(T x);
T pop();
T top();
};
//constructor function to initialize stack and data
template<class T,int size>
stack<T,size>::stack(void)
{
int i;
for(i=0;i<size;i++) data[i]=0;
stack_ptr=0;
}
//Push data onto stack
template<class T,int size>
void stack<T,size>::push(T x)
{
if(stack_ptr>=size)
{
cout<<"cannot push data: stack full"<<endl;
return;
}
data[stack_ptr++]=x;
cout<<"Pushed\t" << x << "\tonto the stack"<<endl;
return;
}
//Pop data from stack
template<class T,int size>
T stack<T,size>::pop()
{
if(stack_ptr<=0)
{
cout<<"cannot pop data: stack empty"<<endl;
return data[0];
}
cout<<"popped\t"<< data[--stack_ptr]<< "\tfrom stack"<<endl;
return data[stack_ptr];
}

{
//declaring stack of strings and using default size
stack<string> c;
string w;
string name1 = "Rich";
