Answer to Question #100130 in C++ for DeadBeast

Question

6. Create a class Fact. Each Fact has an integer ID. Ever Fact also has a list of Fact pointers. Ask the user for an integer N which is the number of Facts to be generated. After all of them are generated and added to a list, go back through and add a random number 0 to 5 Fact pointers to EACH of them. This creates a rather complex mesh of Facts. Display your mesh, then choose one of them at random and display all reachable facts. Do not report loops. For example


If the user enters N = 8

And the following Facts are created randomly:
#1 -> 2, 5
#2 -> none
#3 -> 4, 5, 7
#4 ->3, 6
#5 ->7
#6 ->1
#7 ->2

IF
#4 is chosen the result would be
#4 ->3, 6, 5, 7, 1, 2

since
4 connects to 3 and 6
3 connects to 4 , 5, 7
6 connects to 1
5 connects to 7
7 connects to 2
1 connects to 2, 5
2 connects to none

IF
#1 is chosen
The result would be
#1 ->2, 5, 7

Since
1 connects to 2, 5
2->none
5 connects to 7
7 connects to 2

#include <list>




using namespace std;




class Fact

public:

  list<Fact *> pointers;

  int ID;

  void setPointers(list<Fact> facts);

  Fact(): ID(0){};

  ~Fact(){};

};

int main()

{

  int N;

  cout << "Enter number of Facts (N): ";

  cin >> N;

  list<Fact *> pointers;

  return 0;

}




void factGenerator(int N, list<Fact> facts)

{

  int i;

  Fact fact[N];

  for(i = 0; i <= N; i++)

  {

    cout << "Enter the fact #" << i+1 << ": ";

    cin >> fact[i].ID;

    facts.push_back(fact[i]);

  }

{

  int i;

  for (list<Fact>::iterator it = facts.begin(); it != facts.end(); ++it)
