ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Yes you can, but are you sure that is what you want to do? Most of the time a class will have an association with a template classes rather than a specialisation.
That is you include the list as a member variable rather than create a specialisation of it.
The thing is that i have many objects that will need a list and its methods. The object will have only other two functions, so that's why i thought about inheriting. Is it a bad idea to inherit a template? and how would you do it.
I have another question, do you know about dictionary object? Is there anything for C/C++, or do i have implement mine?
It's hard to give you an explanation on how "I would do it" since I don't really know what you want to do.
But say I have a class called student and I want to be able to hold lists of marks and modules enrolled in, then I would make listMark and listModule member variables of the student class. These could be lists of other classes, such as list<mark> and list<module> and I will probably have a class called cohort that contains a list of students.
There is a simple rule when deciding if it should be inheritance or not. When you describe the situation would you use the phrase "is a" (inheritance) or the phrase "has a" (association)...
A student is a mark ... ? No
A student has a mark ... Yes.
I have a question, Do you know the difference between "template<class T>" and "template<typename T>"?
Using the first one you save some keystrokes, but the second is clearer, because using "class" could make you think that you cannot use built-in types, which is not true.
