A question about STL Lists.

I am gonna to write an ADT that represents the pile of cards used in a solitaire game. At first, i create a header file with class Pile.

Code:

---

// Pile.h
#ifndef PILE_H
#define PILE_H


class Pile
{
public:
        void addCard(const Card&card); //Adds a card to the Pile

        void dump() const;


private:

        list<Card> cards; // Adds a card to the Pile




};
#endif

---

My question is, inside the private, can i use

Code:

---

list<Card> cards; // Adds a card to the Pile

---

to feed this requitement -> The Pile must have one attribute - a STL List of Cards.


Thanks

I don't see why not.

Thanks, just wanna make sure it.

However, How can i implement the method addCard, How can i code it to make it can add card to the Pile?

push_front or push_back, perhaps?

Also, for the #include header.

i think i have to use

Code:

---

#include <cstdlib>

---

and anymore?

Code:

---

#include <list>

---

for the actual STL list

Don't forget to indicate the proper namespace. For example, use 'std::list' instead of just 'list' in the code.

Daved, i don't really understand about it, would you please give me an example inside my code?
thanks

Code:

---

// Pile.h
#ifndef PILE_H
#define PILE_H
 
#include <list>
 
class Pile
{
public:
        void addCard(const Card&card); //Adds a card to the Pile
        void dump() const;
private:
        std::list<Card> cards; // Adds a card to the Pile
};
#endif

---

Or you could do this (not recommended, but "easier"):

Code:

---

// Pile.h
#ifndef PILE_H
#define PILE_H
 
#include <list>
using std::list;
 
class Pile
{
public:
        void addCard(const Card&card); //Adds a card to the Pile
        void dump() const;
private:
        list<Card> cards; // Adds a card to the Pile
};
#endif

---

Or this (not recommended, but "easiest"):

Code:

---

// Pile.h
#ifndef PILE_H
#define PILE_H
 
#include <list>
using namespace std;
 
class Pile
{
public:
        void addCard(const Card&card); //Adds a card to the Pile
        void dump() const;
private:
        list<Card> cards; // Adds a card to the Pile
};
#endif

---

Thanks for advise!
