just started to learn about linked list and have to make a OOP
to read, sort, and display some file.
Here's the format of the txt file:
20
john
adam
george
.
.
.
the first number is the number of names included in the txt file and each line follows has a name.
Here's my main.cpp
#include "ListClass.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//declaring class
ListClass name;
string file;
char holder[256];
cout<<"Please enter the data file to be read: "<<endl;
cin>>file;
//input the data file
ifstream myIn;
myIn.open(file.c_str());
//reading each line and perform functions
myIn>>number;
myIn.ignore(256,'\n');
while(myIn.peek()!=EOF)
{
myIn.getline(holder, 256, '\n');
nameRec.name=holder;
readFile(nameRec.name);
display();
}
myIn.close();
return 0;
}
and here's the .h file:
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#ifndef LISTCLASS_H
#define LISTCLASS_H
struct record
{
// name
string name;
};
typedef record nameRec;
struct node
{
nameRec data;
node* next;
};
typedef node nodeType;
typedef node* nodeTypePtr;
class ListClass
{
public:
ListClass();
ListClass(const ListClass&L);
~ListClass();
void readFile();
void insert();
void display();
void search();
void checkList();
int listLength();
private:
int number=0;
nodeTypePtr head;
};
#endif
and my implementation .cpp
#include "ListClass.h"
using namespace std;
//default constructor
ListClass::ListClass()
{
head=NULL;
}
ListClass::ListClass(const Class& L)
{
if(L.head==NULL)
head=NULL;
else
{
head=new node;
assert(head!=NULL)
head->item=L.head->item;
}
void ListClass::readFile(nameRec.name)
{
nodeTypePtr prev, curr;
nodeTypePtr newNode;
newNode= new node;
assert(newNode);
newNode->nameRec.name;
prev=head;
curr=head;
while ((curr!=NULL)&&(curr->cityRec.name))
{
prev= curr;
curr= curr->next;
}
if (curr==head)
{
newNode->next=head;
head=newNode;
}
else
{
newNode->next=curr;
prev->next=newNode;
}
void sortedListClass::display()
{
for (nodePtrType cur=head; cur!=NULL;cur=cur->next)
cout<<cur->data.name<<endl;
}
I'm fairly new to programming so I could be doing this wrong. I'd just like to know how to read a file into a linked list preferably into a sorted linked list and then display it.
