Thread: comparing return values from functions

I am trying to compare a value returned by a function within a class object with a set value...

Code:

if (theCircuit.at(i)->getType() == 3) { ...some code... }

at compilation, the following error:

Code:

D:\WORK\CIRCUIT.CPP(101) : error C2446: '==' : no conversion from 'const int' to 'int (__thiscall LogicGate::*)(void)'
        There are no conversions from integral values to pointer-to-member values

the function that is being used is:

Code:

int LogicGate::getType(){
	return gateType;     // gateType is a private int for class LogicGate
}

What i want to do is compare the gateType variable, in order to find out the type of gate that is at the current position in the vector!!!

Are you sure you didn't actually type:

Code:

if (theCircuit.at(i)->getType == 3)

with missing parentheses after getType?
