creating new objects in loop

I'm trying to figure out how to create new objects based on user input. Here is a sample output to help my description:

Enter value for object: 4 // this would set a value for object1 as 4
Do you want to enter another? yes
Enter value for object: 3 // this would set a value for object2 as 3
repeat...

Here is what I have without any logic for creating the new object in the loop (this program just overwrites the "object" object in each loop instead of making object1, object2, object3 etc...:

Thanks for your time
Hail to the Redskins.

Code:

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 

class CRecord
{
public:
	CRecord();		//default constructor
	int getnum();	//get function
	int num;
};

CRecord::CRecord() //default constructor
{	
	num=0;
}

int CRecord::getnum() // a get utility function
{
	return num;
}



int main()
{
	int counter =1;
	
	while ( counter <= 5 ) {
	
		CRecord object;
	
		cout << "enter value for object: " ;
		cin >> object.num;
		cout << endl << object.getnum() << endl;
		counter++;	
	}

	return 0;

}

Don't make data members public within a class. Make them private (or protected) and then overload the input operator.

If you want different objects, you must keep track of the different objects. In your example, you only create one object at a time. Technically speaking, you create 5 objects, but each one goes away before you create the next one.

One solution is a vector or array of CRecord objects. In your code example you would make it a size of 5 and create it before your loop. Then, use the counter variable to index the array and set the values appropriately. Be careful, though, because you start counter at 1 and arrays are indexed from 0 to size-1.

Thanks guys, - I think I see the light. I'll try the array of objects and reply again if I have more questions.

I kept everything public because I was trying to make keep my example code simple.

Thanks so much for your time.
