Hi,
This is what the program does:
-reads data (stock symbols, open price, closing price, high price, low price, previous price, and volume ) from a text file
-do some calculation to produce percent gain/loss for each stock and produce closing assets
-produce a list ordered by percent gain/loss and output the result
I hope I get some help here because I'm stuck and I don't know what else to do
this is what I have so far:

main

 *
 *  Created on: Oct 29, 2010

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include "listType.h"
#include "stockType.h"

using namespace std;

int main() {
	
	stockListType stockList;
	stockType stockTemp;

	stockTemp.setStockInfo("IBD", 68.00, 71.00, 72.00, 67.00, 75.00, 15000);
	stockList.insertAt(stockTemp, 0);

	stockTemp.setStockInfo("MSET", 120.00, 140.00, 145.00, 140.00, 115.00, 30920);
	stockList.insertAt(stockTemp, 1);

	stockTemp.setStockInfo("AOLK", 80.00, 75.00, 82.00, 74.00, 83.00, 5000);
	stockList.insertAt(stockTemp, 2);

	stockTemp.setStockInfo("CSCO", 100.00, 102.00, 105.00, 98.00, 101.00, 25000);
	stockList.insertAt(stockTemp, 3);

	stockTemp.setStockInfo("ABC", 123.45, 130.95, 132.00, 125.00, 120.50, 10000);
	stockList.insertAt(stockTemp, 4);
	


	//cin.get();
	return 0;

Don't think i can help as this is more advanced than i can manage but i would recommend that you actually ask a question or state a problem giving details of what it is you need help with. (you may get more replies this way) Good luck.:)
