stack question

[pentiumPunk]

string something;

while(condition)
{
cin>> something;
node<T> *x;
x = new node<T> (something);
aStack.push(x);
}

i want to keep adding "something" to a stack, and top( ) and pop( ) it off,
but the problem is...... x is being overridden each time. how am i going to
manage the nodes in the stack ? thanks!

If what you want to keep adding to a stack is the variable 'something',
you may want to read up on containers... Try...

string something
stack<string> aStack; // a stack of strings

while (condition) {
cin >> something;
aStack.push(something);
}

Maybe this:

#include<string>
#include<vector>
#include<stack>
#include<iostream>
#include<ostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
string something;
stack<string> astack;
while(cin >> something)
{
astack.push(something);
}

cout << "\nDumping Stack." << endl;
while(astack.size())
{
cout << astack.size() - 1 << " : " << astack.top() << endl;
astack.pop();
}
}

is helpful?

If not, please explain the special features of your stack.

"overridden"? How so? I know of nothing in C++ other than virtual
functions that can be overridden, and I don't see that happening here.

Perhaps you meant "overwritten"? If that's the case, I would agree that
x is being overwritten each time, but I would disagree that this is a
problem. The value of x ceases to be important once you've pushed it
onto the stack.
