Hello,

I've received an homework assignment to create an array via linked list.
All went well until the compilation part where i get continuous errors.
Seems most of the problem is that certain classes (DSA_array) doesn't recognize the existence of other classes and their member functions (DSA_list).
Here's my code , hope you can help:

DSA_array.h:

#include "DSA_list.h"
#include <new>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
         
DSA_list_node::DSA_list_node(){
                     next = NULL;
                      }
                           
DSA_list::DSA_list(){
                head = NULL; 
                 }
                                 
int DSA_list::get_list_size(){
          DSA_list_node *current = head;
          int counter=0;
          while (current->next != NULL) {
                counter++;
                current = current->next;
                }
          return counter;
          }
     
DSA_list_node* DSA_list::find(DSA_list_node* x){
                     int i;
                     DSA_list_node *current = head;
                     DSA_list_node *answer = NULL;
                     for(i=0; i < this->get_list_size() ; i++) {
                              if (x->data==current->data) { answer = current;}
                              }
                     return answer;  
                     }
                     
DSA_list_node* DSA_list::find_index(int index) {
        DSA_list_node *current = head;
        while(current->next != NULL && current->index != index) {
            current = current->next; }
        return current;
    }
                     
           
bool DSA_list::insert(DSA_list_node* x) {
           if (this->find(x) == NULL) {
                        DSA_list_node *current=head;
                        while(current->next != NULL) {
                                            current = current->next; }
                        current->next = x;
                        return 1; }
           else { return 0;}

Thank you !

Why are you implementing the members of DSA_List in both DSA_list.cpp and in DSA_array.h?
