destructor class function

[vastrolorde]

I need to build destructor class function for this but i dont know how.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class node {
public:
	string name;
	node *next;
	node(string input) {name = input; next = NULL;};
    
};

for string class it was

~Stirng();
Stirng::String(){
delete [] ptr;
}

but for this i dont know

Firstly, the destructor you posted doesn't have ~, though that might have been a typo.

Do you need to delete next ? I don't see where the problem is..

[vastrolorde]

Revise the example so that it destroys nodes upon exit. this is what i must do.

[hamsterman]

Well, then write a destructor and put delete next; in it. If you don't know how to write one, see http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/classes/ (around middle)

[vastrolorde]

so basiclly. ~node() {delete next;}

[vastrolorde]

or what?

Pretty much yes, just be sure you don't delete memory thats not yours (NULL/Uninitialized)

[vastrolorde]

well then giveme a code that only deltes the memory used by this program.

Wouldn't you gain more from it if you figured it out on your own?

[vastrolorde]

true, but my comp is already pretty fucked up, so i dont wanan fuck it up even more.

[hamsterman]

'comp' is short for what?
Your code is fine. Whether you have any problems with it depends on how you use it.

[vastrolorde]

comp as i computer

[hamsterman]

You can't fuck up your computer this way.
