[ILC]

Alright, let me try to explain things as clearly as possible.

I have created two classes, one is a Node class and the other is a set class. Now the set class is composed of Nodes, however, there is NOT any inheritance. (Creating a pointer-based linked list).

The Node member has only two data types, int dataValue (the data for that Node) and Node *next (a pointer to the next Node in the list).

Anywho, what I am trying to do is create a local function in the Set class that returns a Node. Can not seem to get the syntax correct though. Here is what I have so far

Node *current;
current=(head,members);
//head is the first member of the list, members is the number of members in the list

Node findLast(Node *pointer, int members)
{
	int i=1;
	while(i<members)
	{
		pointer=pointer->next;
		i++;
	}
	return pointer;
}

Very simple and straightforward function, the return is just killing me. Anyways, thanks you all.

How's about

Node *current = findLast(head, members);
//head is the first member of the list, members is the number of members in the list

Node *findLast(Node *pointer, int members) {
    // note we iterate n-1 times as we start at node 0 and follow ->next n-1 times to node n-1
    for (int i = 1; i < members; i++)
        pointer = pointer->next;
    return pointer;
}

Lol, I guess I had been working on this program too long. Completely forgot to call the function and could not figure out why it wouldn't work

Thanks stranger.

hehe no probs
btw use for loops wherever possible/sensible - they're syntactic candy but useful & in general self-documenting candy
