    struct in class -> problem...

    I have a class, and that class contains an struct. but i am having problems returning the struct to main and read out the values the right way!.

    Code:
    void member::setgroup (Group thegroup)
    {
      TypeAcc = thegroup;
      std::cout << TypeAcc.Type << std::endl;
      std::cout << TypeAcc.CheckNum << std::endl;
    
    } //setgroup function, everything works fine here.
    Code:
    Group       member::getgroup    ()  { return (TypeAcc); }// the problem?
    Code:
    int main ()
    {
      Group Newgroup;
      Newgroup.Type = CharGroup[0] ;
      Newgroup.CheckNum = ADMIN;
      std::cout << Newgroup.Type <<"\n"<< Newgroup.CheckNum << std::endl;
      member admin ("KaK","[email protected]",16,Newgroup );
      Group N;
      admin.getgroup()  = N; // might be here...
      std::cout << N.Type <<"\n"<< N.CheckNum << std::endl;
      return 0;
    }
    output :

    C:\Documents and
    Code:
    Settings\Sven\cbproject\ConsoleApp1\windows\Debug_Build\ConsoleApp1.exe
    ADMIN        -> GOOD
    1                -> GOOD
    ADMIN        -> GOOD // these are the output functions called inside setgroup
    1                -> GOOD
                      -> BAD  // this is faulty, did i return TypeAcc wrong?
    8                -> BAD // same

    well, its got me wondering...

    It should be:
    Code:
     N = admin.getgroup();
    Not vice versa.
    It is too clear and so it is hard to see.
    A dunce once searched for fire with a lighted lantern.
    Had he known what fire was,
    He could have cooked his rice much sooner.
