Thread: Pointers

I'm building a simple student database with pointers and basically a queue. I'm having trouble putting it together as I'd like to keep track of their name and ID..Here's my code thus far..

Code:

class studentList{
public:
  int id;
  string name;
  studentList *next;
};

int main(){
  
  studentList *temp = NULL;
  studentList *front = NULL;
  studentList *back = NULL;
  int id, option;
  string name;
  
  do{
    
    cout<<"1. Add New Student"<<endl;
    cout<<"2. Delete First Student"<<endl;
    cout<<"3. List All Students"<<endl;
    cout<<"4. Exit"<<endl;
    cout<<"Option: ";
    cin>>option;

    if(option == 1){
      
      temp = new studentList;
      int _id;
      string _name;
      cout<<"Please Enter Student's Name"<<endl;;
      cin>>temp->name;
      cout<<"Please Enter Student's ID"<<endl;;
      cin>>temp->id;      
      
    }
    else if(option == 2 && front != NULL){
      temp = front;
      front = front->next;
      delete temp;
    }
    
    else if(option == 3){
      temp = front;
      while(temp){
	cout<<temp->name<<endl;
	temp = temp->next;
      }
      
    }
    else if(option == 4){
      cout<<"Thanks For Using This Program!!"<<endl;
    }
    else{
      cout<<"Invalid Option"<<endl;
    }
  }while(option != 4);
    
  return 0;
}

Well with my enqueue and dequeue aka add and delete students I can't figure out how you can keep track of the student and the id with the same queue then show it.

So I figured out how to make my queue hold the name and show it.. but how can I get it to keep the ID with the name in the queue?

Code:

    if(option == 1){

      cout<<"Please Enter Student's Name"<<endl;;
      cin>>name;
      // cout<<"Please Enter Student's ID"<<endl;;
      //cin>>id;
      temp = new studentList;
      temp->name = name;
      if(front == NULL){
        front = temp;
        back = front;
      }
      else{
        back->next = temp;
        back = temp;
      }
    }

Actually I just figured it out! ( : ..amazing how you can really have a brain meltdown and forget everything!!!!
