Default constructor not constructing....defaultly

Hey guys! I was just wondering if anyone could take a look at this and let me know why my array (of type Car) isn't constructing with "no make", "no model", "2012" and "0.00". I thought I had it right in the default constructor, but when I try to just output the array without adding any file data into it, i get a bunch of zeroes and garbage, instead of 20 "no make, no model, 2012, 0.00" entries like I was expecting. Any help you can provide is much appreciated!!

Thanks,

Jade

In the constructor you are not initializing the member variables. All you have done is specifying the default arguments of the constructor.

Thank you! Got it fixed!
