  9     string name;

 14     //constructor
 15     student(string name1, double height1, int weight1)
 16     {
 17         name = name1;
 18         height = height1;
 19         weight = weight1;
 20     }

 24     void displaystats()
 25     {
 26         cout << name << " " << height << " " << weight;
 27     }

 33 {
 34     string name;
 35     double height;
 36     int n, i, weight;
 37     cin >> n;
 38     student* list[n];

 41     for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
 42     {
 43         cin >> name;
 44         cin >> height;
 45         cin >> weight;
 46         list[i] = new student(name, height, weight);
 47
 48     }
 49
 50
 51     (*(list[2])).displaystats;
 52
 53
 54     return 0;
 55
 56 }

what's wrong with line 51? I am trying to display the name, height and weight of the student that the pointer variable list[2] is pointing to. This is compiling error i get.

bmiclass.cpp:51:30: error: statement cannot resolve address of overloaded function

[Disch]

If you want to call a function, it needs parenthesis:

(*(list[2])).displaystats();

using a non-const variable (n) as the size of the array is also not allowed in C++, so I would avoid doing it even if your compiler supports it.

 32 int main()
 33 {
 34     string name;
 35     double height;
 36     int n, i, weight;
 37     student** x;
 38     cin >> n;
 39     
 40     x = new student* [n];
 41
 42     for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
 43     {
 44         cin >> name;
 45         cin >> height;
 46         cin >> weight;
 47        
 48         (*x)= new student(name, height, weight);
 49     }
 50
 51
 52     (*(*x)).displaystats();
 53
 54
 55     return 0;
 56
 57 }

----------------------------------------
What syntax should i use on line 48 and 52 to store more elements.

if i change the syntax inside the for loop in line 48 to store 3 student objects

(*x)[i]= new student(name, height, weight);

it doesnt compile.

I think it should be this:

x[i] = new student(name, height, weight);

[kbw]

int main()
{
    int n;
    cin >> n;
    student** x = new student* [n];
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
        string name;
        double height;
        int weight;

        cin >> name;
        cin >> height;
        cin >> weight;

        x[i] = new student(name, height, weight);
    }

    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
        x[i]->displaystats();

    return 0;
}
