expected primary-expression before '->' token

I baffled on what it's asking me.

I can do this on main using functional programming. But I'm learning Object now, composition, right now.
Later on, I will try to make another Class, list . Thus, making a linked list. I'm probably going to require help later on.

[JackOfAllTrades]

Node is a type. You need to assign to a variable.

[Bot-Vector]

Why are you trying to make a new pointer to an object when you already have done so in that function?

I haven't learned very much about linked lists, so I might be in the wrong here.

What are you trying to do with that statement?

Thanks both of you!

Updated Node.h

#include <iostream>
#include "EmployeeClass.h"

using namespace std;

class NodeClass
{ 
	private:
		struct aNode
		{
			EmployeeClass EmployeeNode;
			NodeClass *link;
		};
		
		aNode *newNode;
		
	public:
		NodeClass();
		void addNode();
		void removeNode();
		void printNode();
		
};
 

Node.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "Node.h"


using namespace std;

NodeClass::NodeClass()
{
	
}

void NodeClass::addNode()
{
	
	newNode = new aNode;
	
	newNode->EmployeeNode.addEmployee();
	
}

void NodeClass::printNode()
{
	newNode->EmployeeNode.print();
}

void NodeClass::removeNode()
{
	delete newNode;   
}

list.h

#include <iostream>
#include "Node.h"

using namespace std;

class List
{
	private:
		aNode head;
		aNode tail;
		aNode current;
	   
	public:
		void addToFrontOfList();


};

list.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "List.h"

using namespace std;

void  addToFrontOfList()// sticks a Node it in front of the list
{
	if (head == NULL && tail == NULL)
	{
		head = newNode;
		tail = newNode;
	}


}

I'm a bit lost on how to create linked list now. I know node has an employee object, and list has to nodes.
I can do this using functional programming, but I have no clue on how to do it using objects.
I keep getting syntax errors.

[programble]

why not just use the STL List object? #include <list>

[Bucket]

I'm not that far in the book. but, I'll note that STL.


Besides, this is an exercise in encapsulation and composition.
And I can't seem to figure out how to do a list object yet.
