If you are not able to convert that to C++ then I suggest you spend a little more time with your study guides. It's time for a new signature.

Thanks for posting that, the piccies work far better than my text. Ash

This is basically the same question as: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3507402/A-Doubt.aspx[^] Where in your class does your colleague sit? I expect you both to get high marks now! Iain. I am one of "those foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs". Yay me!

As the answers to your (slightly) later question said, this is very basic C/C++ stuff - a book is better able to help you than a message board. Pointers are one of that concepts that can explained for ages, but you'll wake up one morning and go "Oooooh!". Think of the difference between the place you live - and address written on a postcard to you. Good luck with your journey. Iain. I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww).

The first two if() tests are not necessary. Also, pp2 is not necessary. wbgxx wrote: while (p2 != '\0') This will not terminate like you want it to. Richard hints at the last piece of the puzzle.

Pleaze i need a help , i need an implementation for the subset sum problem using these algorithms 1. An exponential time exact algorithm 2. Fully polynomial-time approximation scheme

I assumed printing a string was used as an example of the general problem of passing an array and determining its size automatically. Steve

Yes it looks like a 'hot fix'. :rolleyes: And therefor makes an additional comment for that performance risk sense :-O Press F1 for help or google it. Greetings from Germany

Hi, please edit your post and add: 1. PRE tags instead of CODE tags, for better readability; 2. a textual description of your linked lists; e.g. is head supposed to contain any data, or is it only pointing to the first real node? 3. a textual description of what Merge is supposed to do (which must include preconditions: what is assumed about its parameters, and what is promissed about its return value). Without it, the only thing anyone can say is "if it compiles, it will do what it will do". :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Getting an article published on CodeProject should be easier and faster for Bronze and Silver authors.

Yeah, me to , I think we can study linux together! my OS is ubuntu and my email is wbgjj@163.com

Wish I had a £1 for every time I've done something similar :(( MVP 2010 - are they mad?

In addition to Cedric's good advice, you should review the CreateList() function, to see what it actually returns. MVP 2010 - are they mad?

wbgxx wrote: list* pp=new node; You might start here. Once you get that corrected, you should do some serious cleanup to the create() function. No screen I/O should be performed in that function. Prompt the user for input elsewhere and pass that data to the create() function. Also, the call to new inside the while() loop is wrong. Is each new node added to the front of the list or the rear? If the front, no while() loop is necessary. If the rear, the while() loop should simply iterate each node until NULL is reached.
