Got it working for all cases! woo!

Had to change my search function. It was the CRUTCH of my entire program, maybe more like a pillar that supported everything else.

now it looks like this

Code

person *tree_search(string input, person *head)
{
person *p = NULL;

if (head == NULL)
{
return NULL;
}
if (head->get_name() == input)
{
return head;
}
if (head->spouse != NULL && head->spouse->get_name() == input)
{
return head->spouse;
}
if (head->sibling != NULL)
{
p = tree_search(input, head->sibling);
}
if (head->kids != NULL && p == NULL)
{
return tree_search(input, head->kids);
}
return p;
}

Had to ask for assistance from a friend proficient in C who noticed the glaring errors with my old iterations of it.

Would I have caught it on my own eventually? I think so. I got into the habit of running through my code systematically vs a set of inputs and seeing where things go etc.

I need to learn how to debug one of these days ~_~

I had to make a few more changes to the program before it was TRULY finished but now it is.

With that, I am finished with projects for CS2250 - Programming and data structures. I learned a lot from this class.

When I first started the class I had no idea what the title stood for, now I know.

Abstract data structures etc. Trees, queues, stacks, linked lists....

I am taking a bunch of random stuff in the spring

Architecture, system programming (?) or whatever, and object oriented programming

Last lecture ended today. Talked about exception handling and about creating classes specifically to handle exceptions within classes.

Signed up for all my spring stuff

I am taking:

Quote

CMP SCI 2261 Object-Oriented Programming (3) Prerequisites: CMP SCI 2250. Introduces object-oriented concepts, terminology, and notation (UML) using Java. Covers encapsulation, classes, objects, inheritance, and the use of class libraries. Additional topics may include graphical user interfaces, applets, and related tools and technologies.

CMP SCI 2700 Computer Organization and Architecture (3) Prerequisite: CMP SCI 2250. Introduces details of computer systems from architectural and organizational points of view. Covers data representation, basic digital logic circuits, memory types and hierarchies, I/O and storage devices, CPU architectures such as RISC, CISC, parallel, and multi-core.

CMP SCI 2750 System Programming and Tools (3) Prerequisite: CMP SCI 2250. Covers systems programming, scripting, libraries,utilities, and development tools. Additional programming topics include piping,binary files, exception handling, command-line arguments and symbolic debugging.
This course also explores tools available in the Unix/Linus environments.

and Discrete Structures (not looking forward to this one based on some minor horror stories I've heard ~_~)
