compile error " instantiated from here"

[ken.carlino]

Hi,
I have the following compile error instantiated from here, I appreciate
if someone can help me find out why?

I recommend you provide a complete minimal example without any
conversion-from-int-to-double-issue. Focus e.g. on int first. As far
as I see the conversion is of no relevance for the
standard-deviation-feature you want to have. Maybe clearing the
conversion-issue already leads to a working program.

Look at the template for accumulate and remember that "0.0" is a double
whereas "0" is an int. What type does accumulate return?
