Hey everyone,

I am trying ot make a link list for my program. My task is to take the input of characters and store that input into a link list. If the input is equal to "read" then any characters after read (until it reaches the return or space) will be stored into the variable name. This is the part i am having trouble with and it has to be done in a link list. Any help is appreciated. This is what i have so far. Thanks!

C++
if(input[0] == 'r' && input[1] == 'e' && input[2] =='a' && input[3] == 'd' && input[4] == ' ')
{	
    stuct NODE
    {
        string value;
        struct NODE * next;
    };
    string read(struct NODE *llist, //
}

Rather than switching between linked lists and arrays, you should spend some time thinking about what you are trying to achieve. What are the inputs required of your program? What are the outputs, and what are the data transformation requirements? Only when you understand these issues can you start to consider what structures would be best for holding the data internally.

Take a look at some of these functions[^] and try to make life easier for yourself. You also need to switch to C++ if you wish to use the string class.
