Hi all when I try to run my linkedList test program I keep getting a error in the unordered and ordered linked list header files
line 54: 'first was not declared in this scope. has anyone else had this issue?

Its no good fighting against your compiler. If it requires "first" to be declared, then declare it.

You should have "first" declared as a pointer to nodeType<Type> in class linkedListType.

protected:
nodeType<Type> *first;

class unorderedLinkedList is derived from class linkedListType.

Just remembered something else -

The examples in the textbook were done with MS Visual Studio, you need to make some changes to run them on other compilers.
Unfortunately I did COS2611 a while ago and I can't remember what those changes are.

the solution was to add this-> before all occurances of first last and count... I didn't read the errata in tutorial letter 101 before starting...
