Question

I have created a struct:

struct time
{
    int hours;
    int minutes;
    int seconds;
    double total_time;
    double price;

    time* next;
    time* back;
};

I have created 2 pointers to the struct:

time* traverse, head;

I wanted to point the location of head to the same locations as head:

traverse = new time;
    head = traverse; // Error here

Why is it that I am getting an error at the assignment?

Answer 1

When writing

time* traverse, head;

the star only affects the first variable. Change your declaration to

time *traverse, *head;

and the error should be gone.
