It does exactly what you programed it to do. When you call 'start()' it
sets current_index and used to 0, then when you call 'advance()' it
checks if current_index is less than used, it isn't so the program core
dumps. Just like it is supposed to.

What did you want to have happen?

i'm sorry i pasted the wrong text there.
what I'm trying to say is:

when i ask for the size, it tells me some ridiculously large number.
(actually capacity is 30)
also, when i tell it to print out a copy of the entire sequence, the
program crashes.

Thanks for your help and patience.

void sequence::remove_current( )
{
int i;
assert (is_item());
const int old_used = used; // added line here
for (i= current_index +1; i < used -1; i++)
{
data = data[i+1];
used--;
}
assert( used == old_used - 1 ); // added line here
}

You have other problems along the same lines in other functions. Try to
be more consistent in your indentation and this sort of problem won't
happen.

alright, i entered:


assert (is_item() );
...... ........
(for loop)

assert (used == old_used + 1 );



to the insert and attach functions, but now those assertions now fail.
It doesnt seem to be recording the numbers im putting in.
could there be something wrong with my boolean is_item member
function?

I just solved the problem. it was a syntax error (the placement of the
brackets around my for loop)
the program works perfect now. Thank you for your help!!

Yes, you had your indentation a little confused and that made it look
like the 'used' variable was only incremented/decremented once, but it
really was being modified many times.
the program works perfect now. Thank you for your help!!

Glad to hear it.
