Class and Node issue

[CJPowell27]

Hey guys, I've been having trouble with a class as the data for my nodes but it is not working

because the class has not been defined, but when I move the node to after the class definition

anything that uses the root keyword does not work.  Could anyone offer some tips to me? 

functions.cpp, header.h, main.cpp

Here is the errors with node above.

 

Here are the errors when it is moved to after.

Try 

  Hide contents

typedef struct Node node;

class tree//Inserts, deletes nodes, displayAll, edit
{
	public:
		tree();
		~tree();
		int insert(char * key_value);//, const tree & toAdd);//Inserts the new entry into the tree.
		int create(char * keyWord, int chapter, char*  notes, int pageNum);// Create a new note entry
		int retrieve(char * keySeach) const;//, tree & found) const;//Allows searching the tree to find a matching keyword, then displays it.
		int edit(char * keySearch, char noteEdit, tree & found);//Edits the notes of a certain passage.
		void displayAll(void) const;//Displays all contents of the external data file.
		void writeout(char * key_value, const tree);//Writes out to external data file.		

	private:
		node * root;
		char * keyword;
		int chapter;
		int pageNum;
		char * notes;
};

struct Node//Data is a single note entry and has two pointers to children.
{
    tree entry;//data
    node * left;
    node * right;
};

 

And remove unnecessary stuff from main. 

That worked! Thank you so much!
