i have a class and a non member function that looks like the above example.....

the create_list function is suppose to put integer numbers into a linked list. can someone please help writing the function definition in order for me to do this...the value is coming from the main part of the program. thanks for any help anyone can give me.

I'm not too clear on what create_list() is supposed to do... it looks like it's only receiving two arguments - a pointer to part of the list (the head, I suppose?) and a single value_type (integer). How can it create a list with only one integer? Or does the main program call it multiple times with different values? Does head_par always point to the first node in the list?

I guess your create_list function will have to create a new node, insert it at the end (?) of the list, and then set its value to whatever was passed into create_list. Just guessing here, since I am not too sure what you're trying to do
