I need help as VS keeps saying that temp is not initialized, I have little experience with C++. My node class is as follows
#include "passenger.h"
#pragma once
class node
{
public:
node();
passenger dataItem;
node * nextNode;
};
node *temp = new node;
temp->dataItem = newPassenger;
if(size == 0)
{
Head = temp;
Tail = temp;
}
else
{
Tail->nextNode = temp;
Tail = temp;
}
size++;
You should read more introductory C++ books. This usually gets covered pretty early.
You should write
node *temp = new node;
This will reserve the space for a node in memory. When you're done with this node, you should write
delete temp;
You must make sure you don't delete something twice, because this will cause your program to crash.
node *temp;
temp->dataItem = newPassenger;
If the above is really your code, then the compiler's quite right - you're deferencing temp without having initialised it. You probably want something like this:
node* temp = new node;
temp->dataItem etc...
tempis in fact not initialized.
