Help Please cant figure out why?

Hi, Im working on an assignment for Uni, could someone please check my code. I am using Linux Redhat 7.1 compiler (gcc/g++ is the required compiler) for uni. My output is:


2000 14 January Tuesday 8:30 PM 0746347976 1.25
2000 12 January Sunday 12:01 AM 0754658009 1.98

p 369:1075503696 Pâ?@ @ 0.00

The first three lines are correct (they are the contents of the file) the last one is the problem it shouldn't print it.

The ass.cpp file is testing the adt.h. The adt.h file is the main problem i believe in the getrecords function.

All help and ideas will be appreciated
Thanks in advance.

Okay, here's the problem...

Code:

int main(){

node *current, *temp;

    printf("\n\n");
    //current = create_list();
    get_records(/*current*/);
    do{
        printf("%s %s %s %s %d:%.2d %s %s %.2f\n", current->DETAILS.year, current->DETAILS.date, current->DETAILS.month, current->DETAILS.day, current->DETAILS.hour, current->DETAILS.min, current->DETAILS.TimeOfDay, current->DETAILS.number, current->DETAILS.cost);
        temp = current->next;
        current = temp;
    }while(temp != NULL);
    puts("\n");
}

Now, you'll notice here that you declare current, but you don't ever actually initialize it to point at the list. So when you print what current's pointing to, you get meaningless output and a crash.
The only reason that you're getting anything to print out is because in get_records, you make it print out the nodes while it adds them to the linked list. Once it finishes that, it tries printing them in main, and BOOM.

Thanks heaps, I feel stupid. I overlooked that totally. I was looking at the loop. Jeez thanks heaps.
