Thread: Linked List and Nodes

linked list class

Code:

class LinkedList {
 public:

        LinkedList(); // constructor
        ~LinkedList(); //destructor
 private:
        Node * headPtr; //wont let me do this why ???
};

node class

Code:

class Node {
 public:
        Node();
        ~Node(); //destructor
        Node* nextPtr;
        int item;
};

im trying to make a linked list. not sure if this is the correct way.
basically i have a headPtr that points to the head of hte list. But i cant seem to define it in LInkedlist.h.
I want to define it there because all the funcitons in LinkedList.cpp need to modify/read the items in the linked list..

not too sure how to do this.. if anyone could help thanks heaps

or u can define 'class node' at first then 'class linkedlist' .
