Queue class method problem...beginner here

[cgalvani]

The two classes from the Queueclass5.cpp program are displayed below. Please add another method which will search the Queue for a name which is supplied in its parameter and will return a Boolean value of true if the name is found, or false if not. The method will have the name findName and it will have one parameter which will be a string. Please write its signature line for the Queue class definition and write its full method definition separately

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

Node* getPriorPtr () {return prior;}
void putNextPtr (Node* x) {next = x;}
Node* getNextPtr () {return next;}
};

Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated to get me off on the right foot, thanks a lot! :)

Please use code tags -> What are code tags?
You still have ~25 minutes to edit your post and fix the tags.

Then you might try to be more specific as for your problems.

I see you quite quickly realized how to use code tags, that's nice.

Unfortunately, as it stands, the code is simply unreadable due to almost no formatting at all. So, try formatting the code properly and re-post it - otherwise, I doubt no one is going to take a look at it. And seriously, go the extra mile and come up with specific questions/details - I hope you get the point :)
