building a multilayer perceptron

closed account (E093605o)
Hello,

I am trying to build a MLP to learn C++. So far I have implemented a small linear algebra library "Matrix.h" and "Matrix.cpp". Now, I want to implement a feedforward function in the MLP.cpp file. However, I am stuck because I dont know how to build a function that applies a function to a Matrix parametrized with a type parameter. In line 188 in my code is the function of interest!

This compiles. The main issue is that sigmoid needs to be defined as static. As you didn't provide compilable code, I've guessed a MLP struct that enables a compilation:
