    Angry accesing data in class objects (array of pointers to objects)

    hey there !!! i hope i'm not bugging you with my "beginner" questions but i'm really stuck here

    i made a simple airline-database (school project) where i have 2 classes that read / write themselfes ... in one of my classes i have a passanger ( array of pointers to the objects ) and i need to make couple of functions to deal with data stored inside of objects .... first i need to sort these objects after seet number ( some kind of bubble sort function ), second i have to acces a certain object and delete it from array / memory ....

    well thats about it (simple stuff i know, but hey i have to start somewhere)

    I do not fully understand your question. You have an object and want to access its data? You could define some interface functions which other objects can use to get or manipulate that data.

    ok i can see that i didnt describe my problem claerly enough ...

    lets see .... i have lets say 20 objects with different data types ( name, company, number, price and so on ) .... stored in an array (static passanger* arrap[MAX];)

    now i would like to acces the price they payed ( float price ) and add all of them togather ( total_price )


    .... other thing is that i have to make a printable version of my .dat file ( all data stored binary ) .... how to convert bin_to_hex and can i convert the whole file at once ....

    So you have an array of MAX objects. Each object is an instance of a class passanger and has members like name, company, number, price etc.

    To access the member price, you could add an interface function to the class passanger which returns the price stored in the object.

    Call this function for all MAX objects and simply add the retrieved values.

    I don't see a program here.
