    Perhaps post exactly what it is you are looking at and what you are finding difficult.

    Otherwise it is really hard to read your mind as to what you don't understand. And it is quite likely that without providing further details you will simply be pointed to somewhere that has pretty much the same thing that you were having a difficult time reading.

    ok what i need to know how to do is using nodes add a node to the end of the list. But the values i will be adding to the end of the list need to be read from the another linked list which is why i also need to know how to walk through a list. Thats a singly linked list.

    Note "Traverse".

    [edit]Depending on how you have set up your list, this may apply.
    Code:
    for ( item = list; item != NULL; item = item->next )

    thannks that answered that question, my next one in a doubly linked list how would i define a constructor that takes argumenst tha allow a node to be immediately lined into a list. i have
    Code:
    DLListNode(const T&, DLListNode<T>*,DLListNode<T>*)
    it doesn't seem right and also how would i define in the header file for a doubly linked list node member fuction to set and retrieve private data member values? i feel like the constructor is what that is for.
