Queue question

[DocCeaser]

My textbook lists the function below. Can someone explain to me what this line meanslist=new Type[maxQueueSize];? Especially the part about Type, what does it represent? I thought it was referring to a datatype so I tried int and arrayQueueType but neither worked.

arrayQueueType::arrayQueueType(int queueSize)
{
     if(queueSize <= 0)
     {
       cout<<"Size of the array to hold the queue must be positive"<<endl;
       cout<<"creating an array of size 100"<<endl;
       
       maxQueueSize=100;
     }
     else 
     maxQueueSize=queueSize;
     
     queueFront=0;
     queueRear=maxQueueSize-1;
     count=0;
     list=new Type[maxQueueSize];
}

Type is a type; it can be anything. I would assume the problem is the type of list.

[long double main]

How is "list" declared?

[DocCeaser]

int list;
edited. I was looking at a different program. Its not a pointer.

[long double main]

Then it should be
list = new int[maxQueueSize];

Does that not work?

EDIT: (you changed your post!) No, it won't work, because "list" isn't a pointer.
Try changing the declaration to int* list;

[DocCeaser]

No, it says invalid conversion from from int to int.

list must be a pointer for that to work.

Sorry. I fixed it. list actually should have been a pointer. I'm working on too many programs at the same time. Thanks for the help.
