Code error when trying to print out the node of a LinkedList

Question

Hey im basically trying to print out the corresponding node with its element. But im getting an error: Error 1 error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'DoublyLinkedListNode<Datatype> *' to 'int &' Ive tried a few things like changing the Index functions return type but so far ive had no joy. Can anyone help me fix this?

Here is my code:

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  Name:           Print.
//  Description:    Prints the elements from the list along with its index.
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    void Print(DoublyLinkedList<int>& p_list)
    {
    //Set up a new Iterator.
    DoublyLinkedListIterator<int> itr = getIterator();
    for(itr.Start(); itr.Valid(); itr.Forth())
        {
        cout <<"Index: "<<itr.Index() << "Element: " << itr.Item() << "\n";
        }
    cout << endl;


    }

    DoublyLinkedListNode<Datatype>* m_node;
    DoublyLinkedList<Datatype>* m_list;
    DoublyLinkedListIterator(DoublyLinkedList<Datatype>* p_list= 0, DoublyLinkedListNode<Datatype>* p_node= 0)
    {
        m_list= p_list;
        m_node= p_node;
    }

            m_node= m_list -> m_head;
    }

    }

    }

Answer 1

Basically i was trying to use m_node as the index which i was told wasnt the way to do and to increase a variable during the for loop in the print method. This worked correctly Here is the code:

void Print(DoublyLinkedList<int>& p_list)
    {
        int index = 0;
    //Set up a new Iterator.
    DoublyLinkedListIterator<int> itr = getIterator();
    for(itr.Start(); itr.Valid(); itr.Forth())
        {
        index++;
        cout <<"Index: "<< index << "Element: " << itr.Item() << "\n";
        }
    cout <<"Number of Elements in the List: " << m_count << endl;


    }
