Linked list of a class object?....

I have a ordered linked list templated out and working great. As of now I have a really simple node defined as such

Code:

---

template <class Type>
struct nodeType
{       
        Type info;
        nodeType<Type> *link;
};

---

What I am now trying to accomplish is making this linked list a list of another class I am using to get and set data. So each node would be a class. I think :confused: This other class is called Point. In this class I have a few functions that get and set the data. I want to be able to access the set function of the point class in each indvidual node. I hope this makes sense. :rolleyes: Anyways I am a little confused on how to accomplish this. Do I create a pointer to my Point class in the node?

Thanks

'info' will be a Point. So you can call Point functions with info, e.g.:

current->info.setCoordinates()

where current is a pointer to a node in your list.

It makes sense, honest, but I just don't know how to get there.

Code:

---

#include Point.h

template <class Type>
struct nodeType
{       
        Point info;
        nodeType<Type> *link;
};

Start over with the code in your first post. How do you employ your template to declare a node for an int?

Well I have two classes that deal with my linked list. One is called linkedList and the other is inherited from that called orderedLinkedList. When I want to declare a node as an int I do this

Code:

---

orderedLinkedListType<int> list1

---

Hope that answers your question.

Code:

---

orderedLinkedListType<int> list1

That declares an "orderedLinkedListType". What do you need to do to declare a nodeType that contains an int?

...also get rid of "Type" in your class and struct names. It's unnecessary and distracting. Anyone who reads your code should know that a class or struct defines a type, and if they don't, putting Type in the name isn't going to help them. In addition, class and struct names are usually capitalized.
