Well to start off I was practicing makeing classes so I wanted to make a class that held an array of random ints. So I came up with this:
class ints
{
public:
private:
int numOfInts;
int intArray[numOfInts];
};
well I found out fast that C++ does not allow an array that does not give a constant number because it might be zero( and I guess negative also). So for a while I played with the syntax but never worked. So after a while I thought hey maybe I should make a pointer and point to another ints. And the code looks like this:
#include <iostream.h>
class linkedint
{
public:
linkedint()
{
nextint = 0;
SetInt(0);
}
linkedint(int idnum)
{
nextint = 0;
SetInt(idnum);
}
void SetInt(int idnum)
{
id = ++idnum;
cout << "Input a number. -99 to end. ";
cin >> num;
if(num != -99)
NextInt();
cout << endl;
}
~linkedint()
{
delete nextint;
}
void PrintLinkedInt()
{
cout << id << " " << num << endl;
if(nextint != 0)
nextint->PrintLinkedInt();
}
void NextInt()
{
nextint = new linkedint(id);
}
private:
int id;
int num;
linkedint* nextint;
};
linkedint li;
int main()
{
li.PrintLinkedInt();
return 0;
}
Now this worked exactly how I wanted it to. Im guessing this is a linked list that why I named it linkedint. After a while tho I thought that what if I wanted to delete one of the ints in the middle or even the first one. So I thought of making a pointer that pointed to the prevoius linkedint and when I wanted to delete one of the middle ones I could somehow give the address to the one after the one I want to delete and pass it over to the previous one. I deleted the code so I could show you the above code. But it was bad code neways. Is there an easy way to do this??
Thx,
Jeff Desrosiers
