Problem kicking my but!!! can anybody help?

Mar 3rd, 2007

I have this problem that I can't figure out, I can't figure out the line
statement that needs to go in.
Here's the problem

 Help with Code Tags 
 c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
struct NodeType
{
    int data;
    NodeType* p;
};
 
NodeType* p;
NodeType* q;
 
p = new NodeType;
p->data = 18;
q = new NodeType;
q->data = 32;
                                          <--   statement missing here
q->link = NULL;
struct NodeType
{
    int data;
    NodeType* p;
};

NodeType* p;
NodeType* q;

p = new NodeType;
p->data = 18;
q = new NodeType;
q->data = 32;
                                          <--   statement missing here
q->link = NULL;

I've look @ ever example and went over the chapter on linked structures / linked list, however I just can't figure it out!!! Help
thanks for your time.

p->link = q;, perhaps? It's hard to say with your little uninformative guessing game.

I'm here to prove you wrong.

> q->link = NULL;
Your struct doesn't contain a member called link ?

No wonder you can't figure it out, you don't even know what the problem is!

>Your struct doesn't contain a member called link ?
Yea, I saw that too...no, really. :o

Um, good for you? You still haven't specified enough of a problem to be solvable. You tell us what the code is supposed to be doing, and we'll tell you why it isn't working. Until then, get used to not having any useful responses.

There's a significant difference between knowing the problem and knowing the cause of the problem. Not the least of which being that I'm talking about the former and you're talking about the latter. Do you go to a doctor and just tell him to heal you? Do you go to a mechanic and tell him to fix any problems he finds? No, you go to a doctor when you're injured or ill, and can tell him where it hurts. You go to a mechanic when your car makes a funny noise that you can describe to the mechanic.

I'm the doctor, tell me where it hurts. I'm the mechanic, describe the noise you're hearing. Then I'll use my expertise to help you correct the problem. Now, what part of that are you having trouble understanding?

again, like I said before, I needed to fill in the missing statement, however, I couldn't figure it out.

here is the question that was given to me.

 Help with Code Tags 
 cpp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
struct NodeType
{
  int data;
  NodeType* link;
};
NodeType* p;
NodeType* q;
 
p = new NodeType;
p -> data = 18;
q = new NodeType;
q -> data = 32;
[B]fill in this line of the missing statement.[/B]
q-> link = NULL;
struct NodeType
{
  int data;
  NodeType* link;
};
NodeType* p;
NodeType* q;

p = new NodeType;
p -> data = 18;
q = new NodeType;
q -> data = 32;
[B]fill in this line of the missing statement.[/B]
q-> link = NULL;

that was my question, I didn't know if they are looking for. Thats why I purposed the question, maybe just maybe one of the experts out there could help me out.

Thanks for you r time anyway.

Have a good day!
