Exception thrown

Question

I am working on a project and I'm a beginner. The project involves a person, adult, kid and bogie class. In bogie class I have initialsed pointer of type person named adult as adult = new Adult [adultcount] , where adultcount is the number of adults user wants to add.
When I add only one adult in input, it works fine, it takes the input and assigns it in while assigning values in for loop.
But when I add more than one, it stops working and says exception throw at line Adults[i].setdata() .

Answer 1

I believe you need to change Adults from Person * to Adult * .

When the program tries to access Adults[1] at

for (int i = 0; i < adultcount; i++)
{
    Adults[i].setdata();
}

It jumps ahead sizeof(Person) in the array, while the objects in the array are sizeof(Adult) , which leads to the exception you're seeing.

Answer 2

so I found the answer the appropriate method to to it was declaring pointers named adult and kid in the members as Person ** Adults; Person **kids and then adults = new Person * [adultcount];

    for (int i = 0; i < adultcount; i++)
    {


        adults[i] = new Adult;
        adults[i]->setdata();

    }
