Hello,

Iam getting a strange error and I dont know how to solve it. Can you help me?

Iam trying to make a dictionaire using BST.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <Windows.h>

#define cabecalho "---------------------------------------------------------\nDICTIONAIRE\n\nEnglish to Portuguese\n---------------------------------------------------------\n"

#define LEFT  1
#define RIGHT 2

struct node
{
	char word[20],meaning[100];
	node *left,*right;
};

This errors, is about what? Iam using the right libraries for this task.

The second error is just a reference back to the first one. Note that you have not implemented the filefromtree(struct node*) function. Since you are calling it, it has to be implemented, otherwise you get this error, "unresolved external symbol".

Problem solved. It was in comment the code.

If we add:

void filefromtree(node *tree)
{
 void travandwrite(node*);
 file_ptr=fopen("C:\dict.anu","w");
 if(file_ptr==NULL)
 {
  printf("
Cannot open file for writing data...");
 }
 else //if(tree==NULL)
 {
  if(tree!=NULL)
  {
   travandwrite(tree);
  }
  fclose(file_ptr);  //Close the file anyway.
 }
}

Its all working! Thanks! I was looking and looking and when its obvious we think always the worse. Thanks!:)

Sometimes it is difficult to "see the forest for the trees"! :-) Glad you sorted this out. Occasionally, the "obvious" is not so...
