    Question Dynamic Array of Object Fucntion call.

    Can someone please help me with the piece of code...


    cout << "How many items would you like to enter in the inventory?";
    int arrayLen = reader2.readInt();

    Menu *itemArray;
    itemArray = new Menu[arrayLen];

    for(int t=0; t<arrayLen; t++)
    {
    itemArray[t].newItem;


    }

    It skips over itemArray[t].newItem;
    not sure how to fix this???

    I would be thankful for any help.

    It doesnt do anything. You arent telling the program what to do with it...

    What is it you want it to do.
    What is C++?

    Code:
     itemArray[t].newItem();
    I think thats probably what your trying to do.
    If not post where newItem is defined.

    There you will see how to use code tags. They make your code much easier on the eyes

    itemArray = new Menu[arrayLen];
    I think it's can change like this:
    Code:
    itemArray = new Menu[arrayLen+1];  //gave a space for the  '\0'
    maybe this is not error point.

    You only need the null character to terminate character arrays. I doubt it would be useful for an array of Menu objects, however they are defined.
