Something I am very confused about..assuming I had the class and functions found below.

When the printTestData() fnct starts running, will the listObj contain anything in it? or am I suppose to first return and the send the listObj via pass by reference to the printTestData() fnct?

Also...if I am suppose to send the listObj via pass by reference, then why am I declaring it within the class structure? Couldn't I just create it in the createTestList() function and then send it?

class Test
{
    private:
       SLList<Dictionary> listObj;
       Dictionary dObj;
       createTestList ();
       printTestData();
      .....
      .....
};

//--------------------------------------------------
void Test::createTestList()
{
    ....
    while (i++ < something)
    {
        ....
        ....
        listObj.makeLink(dObj);
    }
}
//---------------------------------------------------
void Test::printTestData()
{
   ....
   ....
   while (i++ < something)
   {
         dObj = listObj.printList();  <--Here
         cout << dObj.data << endl;
    }
}
//---------------------------------------------------
int main ()
{
     Test x;
     x. createTestList();
     x.printTestData();
     return 0;
}

thanx

There's too little source code to say.

This code is for sample purposes....normally if in a condition where a list, tree etc is created using a obj declared within the class, would the contents within that object cease to exist when the function using it has finnished with it? That is what I am after. I know it would not exist if the obj was declared within the function.

All your member variables of an instance will persist as long as the instance itself persists.

In other words, while "x" is valid, all members of "x" are valid.
