错误LNK2019：使用类编译程序时出现未解决的外部符号错误消息

Question

I just installed VS 2013 this week (Have been using 2012 version before). I got an error in this first program I am trying to do using classes. I tried to read other threads with similar error but none of the answers have worked for me so far. This is supposed to be a program that is based on a stack.

Error

stackt.h

#ifndef STACKT_H           
#define STACKT_H       
template <class Type>
class Stackt
{
public:
    Stackt(int n = 128);
private:
    Type *stack;
    int top, max;
};
#endif

stack.cpp

#include "Stackt.h"
template <class Type>
Stackt<Type>::Stackt(int n)
{
    max = n;
    stack = new Type[max];
    top = -1;
}

source.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "Stackt.h"

void main()
{
    Stackt<char> s1;
}

Thanks

Template implementations must be available to the compiler at compile time. You must define template<typename T> Stackt<T>::Stackt(int n) in the header file.
