I am trying to use my header files for a doubly linked list but when I call any functions in the main it gives same error code

Question

I have created a .cpp and .hpp file for a doubly linked list but when I try to call any functions in the main file i get the error message

identifier "init" is undefined

I don't know what I am doing incorrectly, here is the first few lines of the .cpp file

#include<iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include "git.hpp"


using namespace std;

void GitList::init()
{
    head=NULL;
    tail=NULL;
}

void GitList::insertFirst(int element)
{
    struct node* newItem;
    newItem=new node;
    if(head==NULL)
    {
        head=newItem;
        newItem->prev=NULL;
        newItem->value=element;
        newItem->next=NULL;
        tail=newItem;
    }
    else
    {
        newItem->next=head;
        newItem->value=element;
        newItem->prev=NULL;
        head->prev=newItem;
        head=newItem;
    }
}

here is the .hpp file

#ifndef GIT_HPP
#define GIT_HPP

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <sstream>


using namespace std;


struct node
{
    int value;
    struct node* next;
    struct node* prev;
};

// struct node* head;
// struct node* tail;


class GitList
{
private:
    struct node* head;
    struct node* tail;
    
public:
    void init();
    void insertFirst(int element);
    void insertLast(int element);
    void insertAfter(int old, int element);
    void deleteFirst();
    void deleteLast();
    void deleteItem(int element);
    struct node* searchItem(int element);
    void printList();
    int dltfrst();
    int dltlast();


};


#endif

finally, here is the main function

#include "git.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;



int main()
{
    // int menuSelect = 0;

    // cout << "2. Remove files from current commit" << endl;
    // cout << "3. Commit changes" << endl;
    // cout << "4. Input commit number to view version" << endl;
    // cout << "5. Quit" << endl;
    

    // cin >> menuSelect;

        // switch(menuSelect)
        // {
        //     case 1:
        //         {}
        //     case 2:

        //     case 3:

    //}
    
    
    init();

Answer 1

init is a member function of GitList and therefore needs to be called on an instance of GitList. The same is true of a number of other function calls in main.

So, your code should look like this:

int main()
{
    GitList gitlist;

    gitlist.init();

    int choice;
    while(1)
    {
        printf("1.InsertFirst 2. InsertLast 3. InsertAfter 4.DeleteFirst 5. DeleteLast\n");
        printf("6.SearchItem 7. PrintList 8. ReversePrint 9. DeleteItem \n");
        printf("10. Left Rotate 11. Right Rotate 12. Exit  13.Make reverse\n");
        cin>>choice;
        if(choice==1)
        {
            int element;
            cout<<"Enter element_";
            cin>>element;
            gitlist.insertFirst(element);
            gitlist.printList();
        }
        ...

Also, you should get rid of init() and initialise your pointers in the constructor (or in the declaration of the class).
