iterator pointers

hi,i got a class toy,and i got 3 pointer objects of that class. all the 3 pointer objects are in a vector and I want a iterator to loop it.

Code:

---

class toy{
private:
        string name;
public:
        toy(string newName){
                name=newName;
        }
        void  getName(){
                cout<<name<<endl;
        }
};
int main(void){
        toy *a=new toy("a");        toy *b=new toy("b");        toy *c=new toy("c");
       
        vector<toy*>list;
        list.push_back(a);        list.push_back(b);        list.push_back(c);
        //loop to print out all the name.
        vector<toy*>::iterator ptr;int i=0;
        while(ptr != list.end() ){
                ptr->getName();
                ptr++;
        }
}

---

i get error in the last part.looping to print out all the name.hope some one can help out.thanx alot.

And where exactly do you initialize the iterator to point the first element of the list?

use for loop and fill all 3 places of the for instruction - it will be easier to read.

Code:

---

class toy{
private:
        string name;
public:
        toy(string newName){
                name=newName;
        }
        void getName(){
                cout<<name<<endl;
        }
};
int main(void){
        toy *a=new toy("a");       
        toy *b=new toy("b");
        toy *c=new toy("c");

        vector<toy*>list;
        list.push_back(a);
        list.push_back(b);
        list.push_back(c);

        vector<toy*>::iterator ptr;int i=0;
       
        for(ptr=list.begin();ptr!=list.end();ptr++){
                cout<<ptr->getName()<<endl;  //ERROR Line
        }
}

---

I tried a for loop,but i still get a new error :( need help ! :(

Code:

---

for(ptr=list.begin();ptr!=list.end();ptr++){
        cout<<ptr->getName()<<endl;  //ERROR Line
}

---

Code:

---

cout << (*ptr)->getName() << endl;

problem solved. thank you all for your help :)

Are you ever going to derive from toy? I see no virtual functions there. Why are you storing pointers in the vector instead of the objects themselves? (Not that it's wrong, just want to know)
