    That isn't a complete code, which might be why any compiler would have issues. You don't compile headers, you compile source code.

    You showed part of a header. No code. What kind of help do you want?

    So far what is wrong are just typographical errors. If the intention of this review question is to see if you can spot them, then clearly you have not, and need more practice. Asking us to help you spot them is a waste of our time, since it would just be feeding you the answers.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Well, you've done just that.

    ok and again it all looks right to you? its not typographical errors, it actual coding syntax stuff. i saw that stuff and its stupid and i should have corrected it for being totally syntactically correct.

    From all of your efforts this seems tantamount to me saying this:
    Code:
    void SendMeAMillionDollars(void);
    Hmm. Where's my money?

    You have presented no source code to compile. So without a question, what are we supposed to answer?

    source code...now i'm going to sound stupid...are u referring to the implementation file, in this case it would be the DLListNode.template? because the problem just said to create a header file and i didn't think that file was part of the header. otherwise if the header looks ok then i'm good to go.

    Didn't I say that already?

    But whether it's correct or not in part depends on the implementation.



    Why does the set function need to know about prev and next?
    Why does the retrieve function not return anything or take a modifiable argument?
