773: Mainline

Here, then, is the analyze_train program, newly revised to make use of the generic header template class:

#include   
#include   
const double pi = 3.14159; 
// Box, cylinder, and railroad-car class definitions go here 
// Define list classes: 
template  
class link { 
  friend class header; 
  private: 
    link *next_link_pointer; 
    link_parameter *element_pointer; 
    link (link_parameter *e, link *l) { 
      element_pointer = e; 
      next_link_pointer = l; 
    } 
}; 
template  
class header { 
  public: 
    header ( ) { 
      first_link_pointer = NULL; 
      current_link_pointer = first_link_pointer; 
    } 
    void add (header_parameter *new_element) { 
      first_link_pointer = 
        new link (new_element, first_link_pointer); 
      current_link_pointer = first_link_pointer; 
    } 
    void advance ( ) { 
      current_link_pointer = current_link_pointer -> next_link_pointer; 
    } 
    header_parameter* access ( ) { 
      return current_link_pointer -> element_pointer; 
    } 
    int endp ( ) { 
      return ! current_link_pointer; 
    } 
    void reset ( ) { 
      current_link_pointer = first_link_pointer; 
    } 
  private:

char extract_car_code (char *input_buffer) {return input_buffer[4];} 
main ( ) { 
  // Train list is constructed here 
  train.reset ( ); 
  // No initialization; increment expression advances list: 
  for (; !train.endp ( ) ; train.advance ( ))  
    // Display number, short name, and capacity and terminate the line:
