Hello. I am trying to write a doubly linked list that uses data from a class. I have this class that I would like to use...

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Book {
private:
        int PubYear; //Variables
        string Title, Author, Genre, Publisher;
public:
       Book( ){}; //Default Constructor
      
      
       void setTitle( string BookTitle )
       { Title = BookTitle; }
      
       void setAuthor( string AuthorName)
       { Author = AuthorName; }
       void setGenre( string GenreType )
       { Genre = GenreType; }
       void setPublisher( string Pub )
       { Publisher = Pub; }
       void setPubYear( int Year )
       { PubYear = Year; }
      
      
       int GetYear() //Accessors
        {return PubYear;}

        string GetTitle()
        {return Title;}

        string GetAuthor()
        {return Author;}

        string GetGenre()
        {return Genre;}

        string GetPublisher()
        {return Publisher;}
      
       void setBook( string BookTitle, string AuthorName, string GenreType, string Pub, int Year )
       {
            setTitle( BookTitle ); //Mutators
            setAuthor( AuthorName );
            setGenre( GenreType );
            setPublisher( Pub );
            setPubYear( Year );          
       }
      
       void print() //Operation that prints the book.
       {
            cout << "Title: " << GetTitle() << endl
              << "Author: " << GetAuthor() << endl
              << "Genre: " << GetGenre() << endl
              << "Publisher: " << GetPublisher() << endl
              << "Year Published: " << GetYear() << endl;
       };
      
       void Age() //Operation that determines the age of the book.
       {
            cout << GetTitle() << " is " << 2009 - GetYear() << " years old." << endl;
       };
      
       void CompareAuthor()
       {
            cout << "Compare authors of book1 and book2" << endl;
            if(GetAuthor() == GetAuthor())
            cout << "True" << endl;
            else
            cout << "False" << endl;
            
       };
      
       void CompareGenre()
       {
            cout << "Is " << GetTitle() << " non-fiction? ";
            if(GetGenre() == "Non-Fiction")
            cout << "True" << endl;
            else
            cout << "False" << endl;
       };
      
};

  
      
//-------------------------------------------------      
int main()
{
Book book1, book2, book3, book4, book5;
//Declaring my Books
cout << "Start of test:\n\n";
book1.setBook("In Cold Blood", "Truman Capote", "Non-Fiction", "Random House", 1966);
book1.print(); cout << endl;

book2.setBook("On the Road", "Jack Kerouac", "Fiction", "Peguin Books", 1955);
book2.print(); cout << endl;

book3.setBook("Slapstick", "Kurt Vonnegut", "Fiction", "Delacorte Press", 1976);
book3.print(); cout << endl;

book4.setBook("A Clockwork Orange", "Anthony Burgess", "Fiction", "Ballantine Books", 1962);
book4.print(); cout << endl;
l
book5.setBook("Slaughterhouse-five", "Kurt Vonnegut", "Fiction", "Dell Publishing", 1966);
book5.print(); cout << endl;

book1.Age(); book3.Age();//Printing the age of book1 and book3.


book3.CompareAuthor(); book1.CompareAuthor(); book2.CompareAuthor(); book4.CompareAuthor();

book1.CompareGenre(); book2.CompareGenre();

}

I need to use the data from this class (the books) and put them into a doubly linked list. I really at a loss as to how to do this. Here is what I've started...

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;


//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
class Book {
private:
        int PubYear; //Variables
        string Title, Author, Genre, Publisher;
public:
       Book( ){}; //Default Constructor
       Book(string Booktitle, string AuthorName, string GenreType, string Pub, int year);
       Book(const Book& b);
      
       void setTitle( string BookTitle )
       { Title = BookTitle; }
       void setAuthor( string AuthorName)
       { Author = AuthorName; }
       void setGenre( string GenreType )
       { Genre = GenreType; }
       void setPublisher( string Pub )
       { Publisher = Pub; }
       void setPubYear( int Year )
       { PubYear = Year; }
      
       int GetYear() //Accessors
        {return PubYear;}

        string GetTitle()
        {return Title;}

        string GetAuthor()
        {return Author;}

        string GetGenre()
        {return Genre;}

        string GetPublisher()
        {return Publisher;}

       void setBook( string BookTitle, string AuthorName, string GenreType, string Pub, int Year )
       {
            setTitle( BookTitle ); //Mutators
            setAuthor( AuthorName );
            setGenre( GenreType );
            setPublisher( Pub );
            setPubYear( Year );          
       }
      
       void print() //Operation that prints the book.
       {
            cout << "Title: " << GetTitle() << endl
              << "Author: " << GetAuthor() << endl
              << "Genre: " << GetGenre() << endl
              << "Publisher: " << GetPublisher() << endl

       };

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    List a;
    a.push_back(book1);
    //a.push_back("b");

    //a.insert(temp, "h");
    cout << a << endl;



int x;
cin >> x;




    
    return 0;

I need to have those three classes (node, list, and book) in my program. How can I put my book class into my list? And how can I make use of pop back, push front, insert, etc.? Any help you can provide would be great... Thanks.

Did you try searching Google ??
Remember Google is your friend !

This is some simple info about linked lists ...
And what about this one ?
Or this one (from professor Narue, still not complete, but it covers the basics and it's very detailed) ?

I did. I couldn't find any that used objects for the list, just ints and strings. I'll look at the links...thanks.
