Question

I’m new to c++ so please bear with me if my terminology and knowledge is off.

I’m trying to print out or retrieve the string jobName after passing the JOB to a queue. In queue.h I have:

struct JOB {
  string jobName;
  int runtime;
};

In queue.cpp I am trying to write the appropriate method:

void Queue::display(){
  cout << frontPtr->job.jobName;
}

I’m completely clueless what to do. And yes, this is a small part of a school assignment. Right now, it says error: ‘struct Queue::QueueNode’ has no member named ‘job’. So lost, please help.

Answer 1

The key will be in the definition of struct Queue::QueueNode. Look there, and see what field it has that will give you a struct JOB.
