C++ newbie needs help with linked lists |
Hi all:
I am trying to create an address book for a school project. So far I have a
good part of it done but I am stuck. I am getting some error that I would
not even know how to begin to explain. I have never seen these errors
before. They are illegal use of strings and missing parenthesis that I know
they are well placed. Would anyone care to look at my code to see if I can
get help to resolve these errors? I would like to be able to move on.
My source code can be found here:
http://www.cse.fau.edu/~fcarpio/
Thank you in advance.

I did fix the ugly long lines and it worked just fine. Please help with the
original error.

I'd say that the line in main():
l.save_record(string FN,...);
looks rather suspicious and likely to generate illegal use
of string and missing parentheses errors.

One more question, what is the syntax to break up those very long lines that
I have?
Thanks in advance.

Give the name of the troublesome file, the first error message(roughly) and
the approximate line number.

I would use
#if 0
// suspect lines
#endif
to isolate suspect areas. When you think you have it fixed change the 0 to
a 1. If it is indeed fixed, take out the pre-processor code. I couldn't
get enough error location from what you provided to spot anything by
eyeball.
I really dislike your humungous parameter lists. A lot!

Me too! How do I break the line into two or even three lines?

Just do it. :-) Newlines and blank spaces are equivalent everywhere in
C++ code, except inside a literal (quoted) string. So everywhere you have
(or could have had) a blank space, you can put a newline instead.
If you do have to deal with a long literal string, you can break it up
into two "adjacent" literal strings. For example, you can replace
"One two three four"
with
"One two "
"three four"

I think you are thinking in physical terms and I am thinking in, sort of,
logical terms. I would create a new structure which had the 12 or so data
fields you have now. Then a function would receive one of these records as
a parameter. There might be a very slight speed penalty, but I think the
added clarity is worth it. IMO a list of parameters this long is kind of
mind numbing.
