this won't compile and i don't know why...

this function is returning this error:

Code:

q.cpp In function 'int main()':
q.cpp:86:  cannot convert 'int' to char* for argument 1 to insert char*

I'm trying to be able to scan in a string so that i can use an integer of like 2 numbers for my queue.. as in 10/11/12.. right now i can only use single integer values...

here is the source:

Code:

void insert(char character_to_be_inserted[NAME_LENGTH]) /*************   INSERT  
***********************/
{
  QUEUE_NODE *temp_new_node_pointer;           /* Used to point to a newly 
created node
                                                  before it is linked into 
the queue  */

  temp_new_node_pointer = (QUEUE_NODE *) malloc(sizeof(QUEUE_NODE));
  temp_new_node_pointer->queued_data[NAME_LENGTH] = character_to_be_inserted[NAME_LENGTH];

  if (Q == NULL)                                /* This is the Queue_empty 
condition */
    {
      Q = temp_new_node_pointer;
      Q->next_in_queue = Q;
    }
  else
    {
      temp_new_node_pointer->next_in_queue = Q->next_in_queue;
      Q->next_in_queue = temp_new_node_pointer;
      Q=temp_new_node_pointer;
    }
}

main()                          /********************   MAIN   
******************************/
{
	ios::sync_with_stdio();
  char operators_choice;

  do
    {
      printf("\n  Enter choice (lower case is acceptable) --- (I)nsert, 
(R)emove, or (Q)uit: ");
      fflush(stdout);
      operators_choice=getchar();  getchar();   /* Second getchar just 
discards the carriage
						   return used to enter the oeprator's choice  */

      switch (operators_choice)
	{
	case 'i': case 'I':
          printf("    Enter character to be enqueued:  "); fflush(stdout);
	  insert(cin.get());
	  cin.ignore(80,'\n');			  
	
	  break;			       /*  return used to enter the enqueued character */


	case 'r': case 'R':
	  if (Q == NULL)
	    {
	      printf("    Queue already empty\n"); fflush(stdout);
	    }
	  else
	    {
      	      printf("    The character removed was '%c'\n", 
removed_from_queue());
	      fflush(stdout);
	    }
	  break;

	default:
	  if (operators_choice == 'Q' || operators_choice == 'q') break;
	  printf("\n Please enter your choice of 'I', 'i', 'F', 'f', 'Q', or 'q', 
only.\n");
	  fflush(stdout);
	}
    } while ( !(operators_choice == 'Q' || operators_choice == 'q') );
}

i also have my remove function, i'm assuming it still works..

thanks

cin.get() returns an int. You are then passing an int to a function declared as .....

void insert(char character_to_be_inserted[NAME_LENGTH]);

That is your problem. You have quite a type mismatch! The function expects a char array which of course is basically a pointer.
