I'm trying to test out the code my professor gave us. We have to change the implementation of the code but that is not what I am stuck on. I am stuck on making a working test code. He gave me the test code to run but when I try to run it I keep getting errors which shouldn't be the case. Could anyone tell me what the problem is in my test code so I can start changing and adding different functions into my code? Thanks
Here is my code:
// ListNode.h
#ifndef _LISTNODE_H
#define _LISTNODE_H
#include <cstdlib>
typedef int ItemType;
class ListNode {
friend class LList;
public:
ListNode(ItemType item, ListNode* link = NULL);
private:
ItemType item_;
ListNode *link_;
};
inline ListNode::ListNode(ItemType item, ListNode *link)
{
item_ = item;
link_ = link;
}
#endif // _LISTNODE_H
// LList.h
#ifndef _LLIST_H
#define _LLIST_H
#include "ListNode.h"
class LList {
public:
LList();
LList(const LList& source);
~LList();
LList& operator=(const LList& source);
int size() { return size_; }
void append(ItemType x);
void insert(size_t i, ItemType x);
ItemType pop(int i = -1);
ItemType& operator[](size_t position);
private:
// methods
void copy(const LList &source);
void dealloc();
ListNode* _find(size_t position);
ItemType _delete(size_t position);
// data elements
ListNode *head_;
int size_;
};
#endif // _LLIST_H
// LList.cpp
#include "LList.h"
LList::LList()
{
head_ = NULL;
size_ = 0;
}
ListNode* LList::_find(size_t position)
{
ListNode *node = head_;
size_t i;
for (i = 0; i<position; i++) {
node = node->link_;
}
return node;
}
ItemType LList::_delete(size_t position)
{
ListNode *node, *dnode;
ItemType item;
if (position == 0) {
dnode = head_;
head_ = head_->link_;
item = dnode->item_;
delete dnode;
}
else {
node = _find(position - 1);
if (node != NULL) {
dnode = node->link_;
node->link_ = dnode->link_;
item = dnode->item_;
delete dnode;
}
}
size_ -= 1;
return item;
}
void LList::append(ItemType x)
{
ListNode *node, *newNode = new ListNode(x);
if (head_ != NULL) {
node = _find(size_ - 1);
node->link_ = newNode;
}
else {
head_ = newNode;
}
size_ += 1;
}
void LList::insert(size_t i, ItemType x)
{
ListNode *node;
if (i == 0) {
head_ = new ListNode(x, head_);
}
else {
node = _find(i - 1);
node->link_ = new ListNode(x, node->link_);
}
size_ += 1;
}
ItemType LList::pop(int i)
{
if (i == -1) {
i = size_ - 1;
}
return _delete(i);
}
ItemType& LList::operator[](size_t position)
{
ListNode *node;
node = _find(position);
return node->item_;
}
LList::LList(const LList& source)
{
copy(source);
}
void LList::copy(const LList &source)
{
ListNode *snode, *node;
snode = source.head_;
if (snode) {
node = head_ = new ListNode(snode->item_);
snode = snode->link_;
while (snode) {
node->link_ = new ListNode(snode->item_);
node = node->link_;
snode = snode->link_;
}
size_ = source.size_;
}
LList& LList::operator=(const LList& source)
{
if (this != &source) {
dealloc();
copy(source);
}
return *this;
}
LList::~LList()
{
dealloc();
}
void LList::dealloc()
{
ListNode *node, *dnode;
node = head_;
while (node) {
dnode = node;
node = node->link_;
delete dnode;
}
}
#include "LList.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
LList b, c;
int x;
b.append(1);
b.append(2);
b.append(3);
c.append(4);
c.append(5);
c = b;
x = b.pop();
cout << c;
}
Could anyone help me write a working test code, this the last thing I will need to start adding my different functions.
I keep getting this error:
Error 1 error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'LList' (or there is no acceptable conversion) c:\users\koopt_000\documents\visual studio 2013\projects\lab10\lab10\testlist.cpp 18 1 Lab10
Any help?

Answer 1

In your code:
cout << c;
is the problem. You cannot print your linked list that way (Edit: Unless you have an overload for the operator << which does not appear in your code).
For printing the elements, you can iterate through the list starting from the first node to the last. Something like that would work:
void LList::printList()
{
ListNode *tmp = head_;
while(tmp) {
std::cout<<tmp->item_;
tmp=tmp->link_;
}
}
PS: don`t forget the put the method prototype into the class definition. And of course in your main method can call to the function as follows:
...
c.printList();
....
Hope that helps!

Answer 2

You are attempting to output your LList, but it's not quite that straight forward. You need to overload the output operator:
friend std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& stream, const LList& list) {
// Write code here to iterate through the list
// and output each item...
// Return the stream so we can chain outputs..
return stream;
}
