C ++ recursive to iterative

Question

Good afternoon, I was hoping that someone here could help me see what I am missing. I freely admit that this is homework, but we are allowed to cooperate with the code, so I hope someone here will not mind.

For this program, I need to rotate the set of three elements in C ++, using both recursion and iteration. I have a recursive business, no problem, but the iterative version gives me a ton of problems. Everything I tried either gives segfault, or just prints endlessly. Here is the code, thanks again for any help:

template<typename A, typename B, typename C>
class Triple{
public:
    A first;
    B second;
    C third;

Triple(A a, B b, C c){ first = a; second = b; third = c;}

A fst(){return first;}
B snd(){return second;}
C thd(){return third;}

// The function change1(), changes the first component of a triple. 
void change1(A a){ first = a;}
};

// A linked list of triples where the order of the triple rotates as it goes.
template<typename A, typename B, typename C>
class RotateList{ 
public:
    Triple<A,B,C> *t;
    RotateList<B,C,A> * next; // Notice the order has changed

    RotateList(Triple<A,B,C> *t1, RotateList<B,C,A> * n1){ this->t = t1; this->next = n1;}

/*
 * Implement with recursion, creating i triples, each with the order rotated from the
 * previous.
 */
static RotateList<A,B,C> * create(A a, B b, C c, int i){
if (i <= 0) return nullptr;
Triple<A,B,C> * t = new Triple<A,B,C>(a,b,c);
RotateList<B,C,A> * n = RotateList<B,C,A>::create(b,c,a, i-1); 

return new RotateList<A,B,C>(t, n);
}

/*
 * Implement with iteration, using the same instance of the same three triples
 * over and over.
 */
static RotateList<A,B,C> * create2(A a, B b, C c, int i){
}

/* Print the whole rotating list. */ 
void print(){
cout << "{" << t->fst() << " "<< t->snd() << " "<< t->thd() << "}";
if (next != nullptr) 
    next->print();
else 
    cout << endl;
}
};


int main(){
float f = 3.14;
int i = 3;
char c = 'c';

Triple<float,int,char> t = Triple<float,int,char>(f,i,c);
Triple<float,int,char> t1 = t;
cout << "Starting triple: [" << t.fst() << " "<< t.snd() << " "<< t.thd() << "]" << endl;

cout << endl << "Rotating list created recursively" << endl;
RotateList<float,int,char> * r= RotateList<float,int,char>::create(f,i,c, 10);
r->print();

r->t->change1(42.42);
r->print();

cout << endl << "Rotating list created iteratively" << endl;
RotateList<float,int,char> * s= RotateList<float,int,char>::create2(f,i,c, 10);
s->print();

s->t->change1(42.42);
s->print();

s->next->t->change1(501);
s->print();
}

My attempt:

static RotateList<A,B,C> * create2(A a, B b, C c, int i) {
    RotateList<C,A,B> *l1 = new RotateList<A,B,C>(new Triple<A,B,C>, nullptr);
    RotateList<B,C,A> *l2;
    RotateList<C,A,B> *l3;        
    RotateList<A,B,C> *tmp1 = l1;
    RotateList<B,C,A> *tmp2;
    RotateList<C,A,B> *tmp3;

    int nextTriple = 2;
    for (i; i > 0; i--) {
        tmp3->next = l1;
        tmp1 = tmp3->next;
        nextTriple = 2;
    } else if {
        temp1->mext = l2;
        tmp2 = tmp1->next;
        nextTriple = 3;
    } else {
        tmp2->next = l3;
        tmp3 = tmp2->next;
        nextTriple = 1;
    }
}
return l1;
}
