<P>In my opinion, what he uses is really up to him, whether that be a container, or forcing it through with brutish, inefficient code, or using your suggestion and sticking with the data file as his container.</P>
<P>The only reason that I suggested linked lists is due to the fact that he (1) is a student and his professor probably gave him the assignment in hopes that he would figure out basic data structure techniques, while at the same time showing some initiative and creativity in solving the problem and (2) because a question was posed directly concerning linked lists and where to find more information on them.</P>
<P>There is nothing "wrong" with any of these approaches that have been suggested.&nbsp; It is really up to him and his comfort level and knowledge base that he currently has with the language.&nbsp; Wouldn't you agree?</P>

<DIV></DIV>Why should he use any container at all? His "container" in the 
<DIV></DIV>particular case is the data file.

<DIV></DIV>I would agree with Jason on using a map, but then again...if the 
<DIV></DIV>assignment is for you to develop a linked list implementation, then you 
<DIV></DIV>need to research linked lists. You are going to want to have a good 
<DIV></DIV>grasp of pointers before you start, so if you are rusty on pointers you 
<DIV></DIV>need to start there. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I used to know of a really good sight that explained several interesting 
<DIV></DIV>data structures, including linked lists, but I cannot find the link 
<DIV></DIV>right now. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I did find this one, that does give some code snippets which should get 
<DIV></DIV>you started: 
<DIV></DIV>http://www.inquiry.com/techtips/cpp_pro/10min/10min0599.asp 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>If you need more information, I would recommend going to 
<DIV></DIV>http://www.google.com and doing a search on linked lists. You'll be 
<DIV></DIV>amazed at how much is actually out there. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hope that helps you out.
