How to call a method withgin a vector?
- by Mike Dooley
Hi!
How do I call a method of an object which is stored within a vector? The following code fails...
ClassA* class_derived_a = new ClassDerivedA;
ClassA* class_another_a = new ClassAnotherDerivedA;
vector<ClassA*> test_vector;
test_vector.push_back(class_derived_a);
test_vector.push_back(class_another_a);
for (vector<ClassA*>::iterator it = test_vector.begin(); it != test_vector.end(); it++)
it->printOutput();
The code retrieves the following error:
test3.cpp:47: error: request for
member ‘printOutput’ in ‘*
it.__gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<_Iterator, _Container::operator- with _Iterator = ClassA**, _Container = std::vector ’, which
is of non-class type ‘ClassA*’
The problem seems to be it->printOutput(); but at the moment I don't know how to call the method properly, does anyone know?
