data structers mini project

[vaseem ambani]

hello everyone
our class have been asked to make a small application using c++ through data structure
it need not have visual effects
plzzz help me out wid some topics and codes
P.S topic is more important

[LB]

What are you stuck on? What code have you written so far?

help me out wid some topics and codes

You could make a binary tree (or a general tree), or a hash table, or a stack or queue. As for what to do with them, I think you can think of that.

Off topic:
Am I the only one who sees all these reported posts?

@vaseem ambani

Could you please edit you code above to use code tags.

How to use code tags
http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/jEywvCM9/

Anything longer than a few lines is hard to read when un-tagged!

Also, it might help here if you post a summary of the original problem statement, so we can compare that with what your code does.

(And are you someone who has to suffer Turbo C++ ??)

Thanks!

@Script Coder

Am I the only one who sees all these reported posts?

Nope.

I was just wondering what LB had done to deserve being reported.

this is what i had submitted which got rejected

Can you tell us why,or how?

Great project ,I dont know why it is rejected, I can only think that you did not use data structor

I did a couple changes

# include <iostream.h> : it is not standarized, this one is

# include <iostream>
using namespace std;

I realy dont know y you used those statements notice mine

randomize();
int n=random(10);

# include <iostream>
# include <stdlib.h>
# include <string.h>
# include <conio.h>
