[Solved] C++ errors in a small oop test

[jaberwacky 322]

I don't know what I did to get this to work!

May have something to do with initializing the vectors?

YES!

I'm no C++ whiz, but isn't c_subject a pointer? And you're trying to access members with object notation, using a period? And don't you need to use pointer notation, ie 'c_subject->Register'?

[jaberwacky 322]

No go, nothing doing. Thanks though.

[Valik 472]

Go learn about pointers then come back to the problem again.

[Richard Robertson 186]

Also learn the difference between references and values.

[jaberwacky 322]

I assume that you refer to:

cout << "Address of c_observe1 : " << &c_observe1 << "\n";

If so then I have those references to display the addresses of the 'concreteobserver' objects for debugging purposes.

[Richard Robertson 186]

No. I was referring to your function parameters.

[jaberwacky 322]

Finally got it! See OP.
