I am attempting to create a queue, which requires the creation of another object stored in the queue. The errors are
binary.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
binary.cpp:183:1: error: ‘Queue<T>::Queue(T) [with T = binary<std::basic_string<char> >*]’ is private
Queue<T>::Queue(T item){
^
binary.cpp:286:65: error: within this context
Queue<binary<string>*>* queue = new Queue<binary<string>*>(tree);
^
and
binary.cpp: In instantiation of ‘Queue<T>::Queue(T) [with T = binary<std::basic_string<char> >*]’:
binary.cpp:286:65: required from here
binary.cpp:132:1: error: ‘Link<T>::Link(T) [with T = binary<std::basic_string<char> >*]’ is private
Link<T>::Link(T item){
^
binary.cpp:184:7: error: within this context
head = new Link<T>(item);
The first is the instantiation of the Queue, and the second comes from the Queue's constructor, which is called in the instantiation line in the first error. The important declarations and definitions are:
template<class T>
class Link{
Link(T item);
private:
T content;
Link<T>* next;
};
template<class T>
Link<T>::Link(T item){
content = item;
next = NULL;
}
template<class T>
class Queue{
Queue();
Queue(T item);
private:
Link<T>* head;
Link<T>* end;
int length;
};
template<class T>
Queue<T>::Queue(T item){
head = new Link<T>(item);
end = head;
length = 1;
}
The Link class is declared and defined before the Queue class, and both are declared and defined before they are used in code. Thank you for your time.
