Hi, I am trying to build a linked list, I have the following, and I get 4 error messages, ListNode, NumberList, and head undeclared, and then syntax error, please help.

#include <iostream>

        ListNode *next;             //successor pointer, points to the next node

Please Help!
ok, I corrected and now have 1 error message, it says Node, no overloaded arguement takes 2 functions. This is the part I changed:

Node *numberList = NULL;                    //list of numbers
    // Read the file into a linked list
    cout << "The contents of the file are:" << endl;
    while (myfile >> input)
    {
        cout << input << " ";
    //create a node to hold this number
        numberList = new Node (input, numberList);

    }

EDIT: missed how it was before. But your Node itself has a default constructor taking no arguments. I think the problem lies in all the private inner class friend layout that you have. I understand that you may have a requirement for data hiding but I can't quite wrap my head around how to code around that.

Also, please kindly use code tags.

the error is in the constructor, I can't seem figure out how to write it. I need to change "Node" but to what? I previously had as "NumberList" and I had 4 errors.

 error here:   Node *numberList = NULL; //list of numbers
 // Read the file into a linked list
cout << "The contents of the file are:" << endl;
while (myfile >> input)
{
cout << input << " ";
//create a node to hold this number
error here:  numberList = new Node (input, numberList);

} 

I'm still not grasping why you need ListNode and Node.... You probably need to make Node a private class of NumberList and using your NumberList constructor to make new nodes, possibly using a method to add new nodes as necessary.
As it is, node doesn't have a constructor to take in both things. Looking back, Node seems to be one of a doubly linked list and ListNode a node in a singly-linked. I think this might be one of those times to take the requirements and take a step back. See what kind of list you need, which elements constructors should do what. It might be bad design but you can start with everything public and introduce your hiding step by step and change the . operators to getters and setters, etc.
