I have << overloaded to write to a file, however I get an error when I try to use it in main. I tried calling the actual write method. Is the SpareTable that operator that is failing. I already checked the .h and .cpp parameters and that all my #includes where in place. Thanks for the help
static ofstream lout ("lists.txt");
srand (2231);
SkipList list;
int i, compares;
try{
for (int n = 1; n <= 5; n++){
i = rand();
compares = list.add (i);
updateStats (n, 5, compares);
if (compares == -1) {
cout << "memory overflow!\n";
exit (1);
}
lout << "** add #" << setw(5) << n << ": " << setw(5) << i << " **\n"; //<< list; // this gives error
list.write(lout); // yet this works finevoid SkipList::write (ofstream& outfile)const {
SkipListNode* current = heads[0];
while (current != NULL){
current -> write (outfile);
current = current -> getNext(0);

}
}
outfile << endl;
