C++ class has no member named 'blah'

I have a .h file with this in it:

#ifndef CS240_LINKED_LIST_H
#define CS240_LINKED_LIST_H

#include <string>

//! LLNode implements a doubly-linked list node
class LLNode {
        friend class LinkedList;
    public:
    
        LLNode(const std::string & v, LLNode * p, LLNode * n) :
          value(v), prev(p), next(n)
        {
        }
    
    private:
        std::string value;        //!< value stored in the node
        LLNode * prev;            //!< pointer to previous node in the list
        LLNode * next;            //!< pointer to next node in the list
};


//! LinkedList implements a doubly-linked list
class LinkedList
{
    public:
    
        //!  No-arg constructor.  Initializes an empty linked list
        LinkedList();
    
    
        //!  Copy constructor.  Makes a complete copy of its argument
        LinkedList(const LinkedList & other);
    
    private:
        //!  two dummy nodes to keep track of the beginning and end of the list.
        LLnode beginning;
        LL开发者_高级运维node end;
        int size;
};

#endif

In a cpp file I have:

#include "LinkedList.h"

LinkedList::LinkedList(){
    this->beginning.prev = NULL;
    this->beginning.next = this->end;
    this->end.prev = this->beginning;
    this->end.next = NULL;
}

Here's the output:

>g++ -o LinkedList.o LinkedList.cpp
In file included from LinkedList.cpp:1:

I don't know how to fix this. How else would I set the beginning and end objects? Just so you know, I'm a Java programmer learning C++.

• You have misspelt LLNode as LLnode.
• You need to add a default constructor to the LLNode class
• you need to take the address of the this->beginning and this->end members in the LinkedList constructor:

.

LinkedList::LinkedList(){
    this->beginning.prev = NULL;
    this->beginning.next = &this->end;
    this->end.prev = &this->beginning;
    this->end.next = NULL;
}

You need to declare the constructor. Try:

class LinkedList
{
    private:
        LLnode beginning;
        LLnode end;
    public:
        LinkedList();
};

You don't have a declaration of LinkedList::LinkedList() in the class declaration.

That should give you a different error; g++ gave me

error: definition of implicitly-declared ‘LinkedList::LinkedList()’

Are you sure you've posted the exact code you're compiling? Narrow your code down to something small but complete, and copy-and-paste the exact source files into your question. (For example, there's no declaration of LLnode). Show us something we can try ourselves.
