Merge Sort with display problem

Can any pros/senpai in c++ notify me why I could not call the display function to show the random numbers and sorted array? I squeeze out my brain juice yet still I could not figure it out why. Really need helps badly

P.S: ignore the selection, insertion and bubble sort.

¿what errors?

> ignore the selection, insertion and bubble sort.
remove them from your code snip.

Unable to call the functions

> ignore the selection, insertion and bubble sort.
Cause this is the combination of my friends and my works, they did their selection, bubble and insertion sort. So it should be inside

> #include "Assignment01.cpp"
What's the problem of it?
> Unable to call the functions
error: no matching function for call to ‘mergenode::display()’
||         mdata.display ();

note: candidate: void mergenode::display(mergenode::node*)

the other are similar
For some reason you asked for a parameter, pass it then.


> Cause this is the combination of my friends and my works
¿so? their code is not related to your error, there is no need to include it.
When posting try to create a minimal example.


> What's the problem of it?
you are killing the purpose of the linker.
you may get the `multiple definition' error if your cpp is included several times.
okay i changed it to another

what if I wanted to list the result of Choice 2 and 3 without so much of steps that take years to show out the result?
Is there any problem in my void MergeSort?

merge sort is O(n lg n) if the merge part can be done in O(n)
The `display_m()' in your `SortedMerge()' are making it O(n^2), as you are printing a whole list after resolving one conflict.

I don't understand why you print you much, just don't.


Also, your code is hideous. You may use a `list' class, and avoid all those globals.

Your `addNode()' is O(n) when it could easily be O(1)
