ok in the first function i am suppose to read in the data from the file for the next node, allcatees the node, assigns the members, and return a pointer to the new node through the function return type i have no idea how to do that can you look at it a see what i am missing.
int CreateMotorcycle(Motorcycles *&FirstBike)
{
Motorcycles * NewMotorcycle = FirstBike;
//To Get the Model of the Motorcycle
getline(infile,FirstBike->Model);
//to get the stock number of the Motorcycle
infile>>FirstBike->StockNum;
//to skip the remaining '\n' character
infile.ignore();
//to get the sytle of the Motorcycle
getline(infile,FirstBike->Style);
//to get the Price of the Motorcycle
infile>>FirstBike->Price;
//to get the HorsePower of the Motorcycle
infile>>FirstBike->Hp;
}
in this function i am add the node that was created in the function above and add it to the end of the list i just wondering how i can return FirstBike which is the head pointer.
int AddToModel(Motorcycles*&FirstBike,Motorcycles *NewMotorcycle)//to add the bike to the end of the list
{
Motorcycles*tptr=FirstBike; //to traverse thur the list
Motorcycles*newNode=NULL;
if(!FirstBike)
FirstBike=newNode;
else
{
tptr= FirstBike;
while(tptr->nextmotorcycle)
tptr=tptr->nextmotorcycle;
tptr->nextmotorcycle=newNode;
}}
the file looks like this the numbers beside the motorcycles are suppose to get read in to tell the compiler what function to call.
