    Linked list of objects

    Hello

    I am trying to create a linked list of the following style:
    Code:
    #include "variable.h"  // CLASS called variable
    
    
    struct node{
    	variable *objectPtr;
    	struct node *next;
    };
    typedef struct node nodeptr;
    Basically, a pointer to an object and a pointer to the next node of the list. Is this the correct way of doing it?

    I'm not sure how to set and access the object either. So far I have been trying this but it has not worked

    Code:
    ptr->objectPtr = new variable(VarID,constant);
    Code:
    cout << (ptr->objectPtr).GetVarID() << endl; //GetVarID() is a member function
    Thanks for help

    Since objectPtr is a pointer, why are you not using -> to access it's content (including it's member functions).

    Thanks Mats

    I can confirm that this now works
    Code:
    cout << ptr->objectPtr->GetVarID() << endl;
