    linked lists of a polynomial

    Hi every one, I'm very new in c++ programming, and I'm encounting some difficulties with my program. It's supposed to create a polynomial with a linked list. It keeps giving me errors and I don't know what to do anymore. The polynomial is created with a single nested statement in the constructor. But it doesn't seem to work. Please help me.


    class Term
    {
    public:
    Term (double coefficient, int exponent=0, Term *next=NULL);
    double evaluate (double x);
    void print();
    private:
    double coefficient;
    int exponent;
    Term *next;
    };

    Term::Term(double coefficient, int exponent = 0, Term *next = NULL)
    {
    Term *pt = new Term(1,10, new Term(-3,4,new Term (17)));
    }

    double Term::evaluate (double x);
    {
    if (Term *pt != NULL)
    {
    while(pt->next != NULL)
    {
    int expo = ptr->exponent;
    double accum+ = ptr->coefficient * pow(x, expo);
    ptr=ptr->next;
    }
    ptr->next = NULL;
    }
    return accum;
    }

    int main()
    {
    Term test;
    double result = test.evaluate (2);
    cout << "and the answer is: " << result << endl;
    return 0;
    }
