    Hello, I'm new to Go Expert. Greetings all, I'm a somewhat new programmer into my second class of C++ at LSU.

    Our teacher has done a poor job explaining classes and linked lists, and all of a sudden threw a rather large program on us with little to no help.

    I've been all over the web trying to find tutorials that covered using structs with classes and linked lists but have come up with nothing.


    here is my empInfo.h file:
    Code:
     #include <iostream>
     #include <fstream>
     #include <cstdlib>
     using namespace std;
    
     #ifndef EMPINFO_H
     #define EMPINFO_H
    
      struct Node
      {
         int empID;
         char FNAME[512];
         char LNAME[512];
         char phoneNum[512];
         int empAGE;
         Node *next;
      };
    
      Node *start_ptr = NULL;
    
     class NodeList
     {
         public:
    
         Node *head;
    
         void input(ostream& out, NodeList *Node);
    
         int FillArray();
    
         int FillArray(NodeList *Node);
    
    
    
    
    
     };
    
     #endif
    
    Here is my prog2.cpp file:

    Code:
    
     #include <iostream>
     #include <fstream> 
     #include <cstdlib>
     #include "empInfo.h"
     using namespace std;
    
    
    
     int main()
     {
        NodeList *Node;
        NodeList *newGuy;
       
    //    NodeList *current;
    //  NodeList *start_ptr = NULL;
    //    current = start_ptr;
     
    
     
        newGuy = new NodeList;
    
        int empID;
        char FNAME[512];
        char LNAME[512];
        char phoneNum[512];
        int empAGE;   
    
        
       
        cout << newGuy->Node.empID;
     
     return 0;
     }   
    
     /**********************************************************************/

        NodeList *temp;
    
        ifstream fin;
        ofstream fout;
    
         
    
        fin.open("empdb.data");
        if(fin.fail())
        {
           cout << "Error: Input File.";
           exit(1);

            cout << endl;
            cout << Node->FNAME;
            cout << endl;
            Node->next = NULL;
          
            } while(!fin.eof());
           
        fin.close();  
        return 0;
     }
    
     void NodeList::input(ostream& out, NodeList *Node)
     {  
        
    
       NodeList *newNode;
       
       do {  
            if (newNode == NULL)
              cout << "End of list" << endl;
            else
              {
                 cout << "Name : " << newNode->Node.empID << endl;
                 cout << endl;
                 newNode->Node.next;
              }
         }
       while (newNode != NULL);
        
     }
    
    I'm trying to create a struct for the info above. Then to store them in dynamically allocated memory. I keep having problems because I don't know the correct syntax.

    This code is currently very wrong I'm sure. I've been trying to at least get the memory to fill and see if I can get a correct output.

    Can anyone point me to some sources that would help this very specific problem?

    Thanks.
