hello I wrote this code and i'm having some trubble with it. When i debugg my code i get a bunch of these errors.
c:\users\roxxi\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\lab3\main.cpp(33): error C2679: binary '<<' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'void' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
1> c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\ostream(679): could be 'std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits> &std::operator <<<char,std::char_traits<char>>(std::basic_ostream<_Elem,_Traits> &,const char *)'

both me, my proff. my mom a programmer couldnt find the problem if someone see's the problem can you please help me


my code has three files a .h .cpp and main.cpp

//unsorted.h

From line 33: outFile<<command<<" : is inserted"<< list.InsertItem(item)<<endl;

is the first example the compiler picks up (and then gives a billion errors from the streams) but any time you have a method directed into an output stream int must have a return value and your InsertItem is void. I think this is the case with many of the other statements as well.

There's also an extraneous statement in your main.cpp file outside of both your main() and Print() methods (?) and you try to use your ofstream object in Print() without passing it in.
