    program conversion.

    I have a sequential queue program that was supposed to be a linked queue program.

    How do I change it to be correct.

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    void enqueue (char queue[maxqueue], int& front, int& rear, char item)
    	{
       rear=(rear+1)%maxqueue;
       if(front!=rear)
       	{
          queue[rear]=item;
          }
       else
       	{
          cout<<"OVERFLOW\n";
          rear=rear-1;
          if (rear<0)
          	rear=rear+maxqueue;
          };
       };
    
    
    void dequeue (char queue[maxqueue], int& front, int& rear, char& item)
    	{
       if (front!=rear)
       	{
          front=(front+1)%maxqueue;
          item=queue[front];
          //queue[front]=' ';
          }
       else
       	{
          cout<<"UNDERFLOW--FILLERUP\n";
          item='0';
          };
       };
    
    //lists items on a sequential queue
    void list (char queue[maxqueue], int front, int rear)
       {
       int count=0,where;
       //from front to rear and cout
       where=front;
       while (where!=rear)
       	{
          where=(where+1)%maxqueue;
          cout<<queue[where];
          count++;
          };
       /*//rearplus=(rear+1)%maxqueue;
       for (where=(front+1)%maxqueue;where!=rearplus;where=(where+1)%maxqueue)
       	{
          count++;
          cout<<queue[where];
          }; */
       cout<<endl<<count<<" items on queue"<<endl;
       };
    
    //menu for queue routines
    void queuedriver(char queue[maxqueue], int& front, int& rear);
    
    void main ()
    {
    char answer,table[maxqueue];
    int front,rear;
    
    cout<<"We will maintain a queue for you.\n";
    cout<<"At your instruction, we will enqueue, dequeue, list, or halt.\n";
    
    do//The whole program as often as needed
    {
    
    //initialize counter for task
    front=0;
    rear=0;
    
    //basic menu driver
    queuedriver(table,front,rear);
    
    
    //allows repeat of whole program
    cout<<"Would you like to do another queue simulation('Y' to continue)?\n";
    cin>>answer;
    }while ((answer=='Y') || (answer=='y'));
    };
    
    
    
    
    
    
    //menu for queue routines
    void queuedriver(char queue[maxqueue], int& front, int& rear)
    {
    const int maxcommand=4;
    char command[maxcommand], thing;
    
    
    cout<<"the options are as follows:\n";
    cout<<"1. enqueue\n";
    cout<<"2. dequeue \n";
    cout<<"3. list\n";
    cout<<"4. halt\n";
    do//queue menu options
    	{
       cout<<"type command:(en,de,li,ha)\n";
       cin>>command;
       if ((strcmp(command,"enqu")==0) || (strcmp(command,"en")==0) ||
           (strcmp(command,"1")==0)    || (strcmp(command,"e")==0) )
           {
           cout<<"item to put on queue:";
           cin>>thing;
           enqueue(queue,front,rear, thing);
           cout<<thing<<" enqueued on queue \n";
           }
       else if ((strcmp(command,"dequeue")==0) || (strcmp(command,"de")==0) ||
                (strcmp(command,"2")==0)    || (strcmp(command,"d")==0) )
           {
           dequeue(queue,front,rear,thing);
           cout<<thing<<" dequeued from queue\n"<<endl;
           }
       else if  ((strcmp(command,"list")==0) || (strcmp(command,"li")==0) ||
                  (strcmp(command,"3")==0)    || (strcmp(command,"l")==0) )
           {
           list(queue,front,rear);
           }
       else if  ((strcmp(command,"halt")==0) || (strcmp(command,"ha")==0) ||
                 (strcmp(command,"4")==0)    || (strcmp(command,"h")==0) )
           {
           cout<<"goodbye\n";
           strcpy(command,"h");
           }
       else
       	cout<<"unrecognized command\n";
    
       } while (strcmp(command,"h")!=0);
    };

    Does it compile?

    This is outdated.
    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    Use <iostream> instead, and either add std:: to all your couts etc or use the namespace.
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    Code:
    void main()
    Don't use this -- use int main() and probably a return 0 statement.

    You don't need semicolons after every closing brace after every function.

    strcmp() is in <cstring> (or <string.h> if your compiler's really old); be sure to include it.

    Code:
    const int maxcommand=4;
    char command[maxcommand], thing;
    // ...
       else if ((strcmp(command,"dequeue")==0) || (strcmp(command,"de")==0) ||
                (strcmp(command,"2")==0)    || (strcmp(command,"d")==0) )
    command[4] can't hold "dequeue". It needs to be at least [8].

    So download a new one. This code won't even compile on some modern compilers. Clicky.
