Linked List and Accessing Elements of Nodes??

[keclipse2525]

I have a program that is set up like a bank database and I need to use linked list to write all the transactions into a file. Where would you implement the code to write the transactions to a file? It is set up with two .cpp files and a header file. The header contains a structure with the declaration of functions and the one .cpp is the main while the other .cpp contains all the functions operations. Would the code to write the file go in the main or just make it a function along with the other functions in the .cpp file? Any suggestions?? thanks

My idea would be writing a separate function to do the same.
If you can add more info i can help you

What information do u need I can post some sections of code to help get a better understanding of what Im asking, if that helps my very general questions hahaha?? thanks

The code to write to the file should be in it's own .cpp file and you should make a header to include elsewhere.

The reason is you may need the file writing code in another program sometime and if you have buriend with main() you can't use it in another program without removing the main(). To do that you would need to make a copy and then be faced with maintaining multiple sets of the same code.

Keep related code that has a probable chance of being reused in separate files.
