I've written a class that contains two pointers, one is char* color_ and one in vertexesset* vertex_ where vertexesset is a class I created. In the destractor I've written at start

delete [] color_;
delete [] vertex_;

When It came to the destructor it gave me a segmentation fault.

Then I changed the destructor to:

delete [] color_;
delete vertex_;

And now it works fine. What is the difference between the two?
