Problem Creating Vector of Objects

[rtwitch]

Am trying to create a vector of objects, called Person that consists of a name and an age. Both the name and age are inputed from the user and are being stored in local variables n and a.

n is declared string and a is declared int.

In main

declared vector as

vector< Person> people;

In Person class

public:

// constructor
Person(string, int )

sets and gets for name and age

private:
int age;
string name;

also have set and get functions.

How do i assign the name and age to the vector.

I was using people.push_back(string n, int a) but does not accept it.

Unable to see how to create this as an object of vectors only double, int etc.

Am I missing a step?

Use YourVector.push_back( Person( SomeString, SomeInt ) ); instead.

[DesiredNote]

The vector holds Person objects, not strings and integers.

Person a("Nick", 4);
Person b("Nicle", 10);

people.push_back(a);
people.push_back(b);

or do exactly what Vlad said.

people.push_back(Person("Nick", 4));
people.push_back(Person("Nicle", 10));

I updated the pushback to the following:

people.push_back(Person(n,a));

this is currently in main after my while loop which is promting the user for information.

My first question is should the push_back statement be in the loop with the input.

The second thing I was trying to do was create a function that read the vector and increased the age by 1.

This is the function I created:

void Person::incrementAge(vector<Person> & person)
{
for (int i = 0; i < person.size(); i++)
{
cout << person[i];
person[];
}
}


I wanted to display each element of the vector and increase the age by one, should that be done in the setAge instead or can it be done in this function?

[vlad from moscow]

As this function is a member of the class it has access to all members of the class including private members. So it will be simpler to write

++person[i].age;

I also have a vector that points to the name object

vector<Car>cars;

// constructor

Car( string, Person, Person);

void setModel(string m);
void setDriver(Person *d);
void setOwner(Person *d);

private:
Person *driver;
Person *owner;
string model;


};

Car::Car( string m, Person*, Person*)
{

model = m;

}

string Car::getModel()
{
return model;
}

Person Car::getDriver()
{
return *driver;
}


Person Car::getOwner()
{
return *owner;
}

cars.push_back(Car(m,*d,*o));

Not sure what I am doing wrong
