I am having trouble with my print function for my linked queue. My compiler error is pointing towards
cout << tempPtr->info << " "; line 149
tempPtr = tempPtr->next; line 150
in my print function. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks

CODE:

#include <cstddef>		// For NULL
#include <new>			// For bad_alloc
using namespace std;

I did not get those errors when I compiled your program. There are 2 extra semicolons around and you have probably pasted an extra const on two lines. Exception is a class within the std:: namespace so you can't use it as a variable name.

What is the specific error the compiler is reporting?

My program does run but there is a break point at the line

cout << tempPtr->info << " ";

I am not entirely sure how to fix this.

Wherever you set qRear initially (I didn't trace your code all the way back), qRear->next is null.
