So, i'm attempting to implement this Queue using my LinkedList that I previously created. I've provided the code for both classes. Currently, I'm work on attempting to get pop and push to work without changing the function prototype (it's for an assignment).
When looking specifically at peek(I haven't quite finished pop), for some reason, when I run the code, I get strange pointer error.
Error C2440 'default argument': cannot convert from 'int' to 'int &'
I'm not sure exactly what that means in this context. The function is suppose to look at the object at the top of the queue without removing it, and return true or false based upon if the operation was successful or not.
Here is the info for QUEUE.

}
bool push(const T& val = T{})
{
_list.push(val);
count++;
return true;
}
bool empty() const
{
return _list.isEmpty();
}
bool pop(T& val = T{})
{
return true;
}
bool peek(T& val = T{}) const
{
std::cout << _list.last() << std::endl;
return true;

And finally, here is my main. The top portion is to test the functionality for LinkedList. The bottom portion is what I was working with to test queue.
#include "Queue.hpp"
#include "LinkedList.hpp"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
LinkedList<int> list;
LinkedList<int> listEmpty;
Queue<int> list2;
list.push(1);
list.push(2);
list.push(3);
list.push(4);
list.push(5);
list.remove(1);
std::cout << "List contains 4? " << list.contains(4) << std::endl;
std::cout << "List empty? " << list.isEmpty() << std::endl;
std::cout << "List size: " << list.size() << std::endl;
std::cout << "Last in list? " << list.last() << std::endl;
std::cout << "What is in position 4? " << list[4] << std::endl;
std::cout << "Search " << list.search(10) << std::endl;
//std::cout << "3 is in position " << list.search() << std::endl;
std::cout << " " << std::endl;
list.toString();
list.clear();
std::cout << "///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////" << std::endl;
list.push(4);
list.toString();
std::cout << "///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////" << std::endl;
std::cout << "QUEUE STUFF" << std::endl;
std::cout << "///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////" << std::endl;
list2.push(1);
list2.push(2);
list2.push(6);
list2.push(3);
list2.push(4);
list2.push(5);
std::cout << "Queue empty? " << list2.empty() << std::endl;
std::cout << "Queue size: " << list2.size() << std::endl;
std::cout << "First in Queue? " << list2.peek() << std::endl;
std::cout << "What position is 6 in? : " << list2.search(6) << std::endl;
list2.toString();
std::cout << " " << std::endl;
system("pause");
I guess my question is this, what steps can I take to go about fixing this particular function?
Thanks in advance!
