C++ Question,error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 1 arguments

Would you please help me with this simple code in C++, I don't know what is the problem here?

#include <string>
using namespace::std;
template <class Type>
Type binsearch (Type item,Type *table,Type n)
{
    int bot=0;
    int top=n-1;
    int mid, cmp;
    while (bot<= top)
    {
        mid=(bot+top)/2;
        if(item==table(mid))
            return (mid);
        else if (item <table[mid])
            top=mid-1;
        else
            bot=mid+1;
    }
    return -1;
}

It has to be if(item==table[mid])

not

if(item==table(mid))

Problem is that you are confusing the [ and (. Instead of 

---
mid=(bot+top)/2;
if(item==table(mid))
    return (mid);
---

you need

+++
mid=(bot+top)/2;
if(item==table[mid])
    return (mid);
+++

if(item==table(mid))

should be 

if(item==table[mid]) //notice square brackets []
              ^   ^

That table(mid) was supposed to be table[mid]
