Thread: accessor function return type ptr to map

Can't seem to get this to work and can't find any examples in my book with a return type ptr.

Code:

map<string,Book> *get_ptrLibrary() const{return *ptrLibrary;};

If ptrLibrary is actually a pointer, then it's just:

Code:

return ptrLibrary;

If it's an object, then you have to return the address of it using the address-of operator:

Code:

return &ptrLibrary;

You should really study your pointers...
