    I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with this code. its probably something really obvious just that isn't clear to me. I would like any help that can be given, thanks.

    int main(int argc,char* argv[])
    {
    Animals *ourAnimals[6];

    Animals *goldfish = new Goldfish();
    Animals *crocodile = new Crocodiles();
    Animals *elephant = new Elephants();
    Animals *gazelles = new Gazelles();
    Animals *shark = new Sharks();
    Animals *snakes = new Snakes();

    ourAnimals[0]=goldfish;
    ourAnimals[1]=crocodile;
    ourAnimals[2]=elephant;
    ourAnimals[3]=gazelles;
    ourAnimals[4]=shark;
    ourAnimals[5]=snakes;

    string name, gender, weight;

    name = "the Goldfish";
    gender = "Female";
    weight = "One Ounce";

    goldfish -> setName(name);
    goldfish -> setGender(gender);
    goldfish -> setWeight(weight);

    }

    and this is the class

    #pragma once
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>

    using namespace std;
    class Animals
    {
    public:
    Animals(void);
    virtual ~Animals(void);

    string getName() {return m\_name;}
string setName(string &name){return m\_name = name;}

string getGender(){return m\_gender;}
string setGender(string &gender){return m\_gender = gender;}

string getWeight(){return m\_weight;}
string setWeight(string &weight){return m\_weight = weight;}

virtual void goOut() = 0;
virtual void converse() = 0;
virtual void getBack() = 0;

    protected:
    string m_name;
    string m_gender;
    string m_weight;

    };

    it gives me an unhandled exception error. this is my goldfish class

    #pragma once

    #include "marine.h"

    class Goldfish :
    public Marine
    {
    public:
    Goldfish(void);
    virtual ~Goldfish(void);

    virtual void converse();

    };

    Goldfish::Goldfish(void)
    {
    }

    Goldfish::~Goldfish(void)
    {
    }

    void Goldfish::converse()
    {
    cout<<"The Gold fish speak: "<<"Bloob Bloob"<<endl<<endl;
    }

    there is another derived class from Animal which is Called Marine in this case which looks like this

    #pragma once
    #include "animals.h"

    class Marine :
    public Animals
    {
    public:
    Marine(void);
    virtual ~Marine(void);

    virtual void goOut();
virtual void converse()= 0;
virtual void getBack();

    };

    #include "Marine.h"

    Marine::Marine(void)
    {
    }

    Marine::~Marine(void)
    {
    }

    void Marine::goOut()
    {
    cout<<"The Marine animals: "<<"swim out and are fed"<<endl<<endl;
    }

    void Marine::getBack

    Hi, You don't need to return anything from your setters. Make them void like this:

    void setName(const string& name){m_name = name;}
    void setGender(const string& gender){m_gender = gender;}
    void setWeight(const string& weight){m_weight = weight;}

    Try this and if you still get error messages, please post the exact message here. :)

      Post ere more info about the unhandled exception (the debugger helps a lot, see for instance the call stack window). BTW you didn't post the Goldfish class code. :)

                Most likely, you are either accessing a memory location that is not been allocated or has been freed already. I've tried the code from your modified post and it works fine. Maybe you should go step by step through your main method and track your heap objects. You should also use the call stack window in order to see the exact position of the crash in your code.

                  I don't actually know how to use the call stack window. I will google it see if that will help. I did debug it and create break points and it always crashes right after set weight. I checked out the watch. and everything goes where it is supossed to but then it just crashes right after everything is set. I commented out set weight and it seems that is the problem, it doesn't crash if I take it out

                    Your code is working fine on my system, however I had to do the following modifications, in order to compile it: Commented out few lines (I haven't all your animal classes :rolleyes: ), hence

                    int main(int argc,char* argv[])
                    {
                    Animals *ourAnimals[6];

                    Animals *goldfish = new Goldfish();
                    //Animals *crocodile = new Crocodiles();
                    //Animals *elephant = new Elephants();
                    //Animals *gazelles = new Gazelles();
                    //Animals *shark = new Sharks();
                    //Animals *snakes = new Snakes();

                    ourAnimals[0]=goldfish;
                    //ourAnimals[1]=crocodile;
                    //ourAnimals[2]=elephant;
                    //ourAnimals[3]=gazelles;
                    //ourAnimals[4]=shark;
                    //ourAnimals[5]=snakes;

                    string name, gender, weight;

                    name = "the Goldfish";
                    gender = "Female";
                    weight = "One Ounce";

                    goldfish -> setName(name);
                    goldfish -> setGender(gender);
                    goldfish -> setWeight(weight);

                    }

                    Added the constructor and destructor for the Animals (misname? Wouldn't be better 'Animal'?) class:

                    class Animals
                    {
                    public:
                    Animals(void){};
                    virtual ~Animals(void){};
                    //...

                    Again and again: use the debugger and have a look at the call stack window. :)

                      it gives me an unhandled exception error. this is my goldfish class

                      #pragma once

                      #include "marine.h"

                      class Goldfish :
                      public Marine
                      {
                      public:
                      Goldfish(void);
                      virtual ~Goldfish(void);

                      virtual void converse();

                      }

                      there is another derived class from Animal which is Called Marine in this case which looks like this

                      I think your setName() definition should read:

                      string setName(string name){return m_name = name;}

                      Also as mentioned previously there is little to be gained in the setXXX() functions in returning the parameter values. Using void return types is better as:

                      void setName(string name)
                      {
                      m_name = name;

                        I think there's nothing wrong in his method signature. Why should he pass the string by value? :)

                          I don't actually know how to use the call stack window. I will google it see if that will help. I did debug it and create break points and it always crashes right after set weight. I checked out the watch. and everything goes where it is supossed to but then it just crashes right after everything is set. I commented out set weight and it seems that is the problem, it doesn't crash if I take it out

                          Don't be so sure. You may have just moved the problem to another, less-sensitive location.

                            Your code is working fine on my system, however I had to do the following modifications, in order to compile it: Commented out few lines (I haven't all your animal classes :rolleyes: ), hence

                            int main(int argc,char* argv[])
                            {
                            Animals *ourAnimals[6];

                            Animals *goldfish = new Goldfish();
                            //Animals *crocodile = new Crocodiles();
                            //Animals *elephant = new Elephants();
                            //Animals *gazelles = new Gazelles();
                            //Animals *shark = new Sharks();
                            //Animals *snakes = new Snakes();

                            ourAnimals[0]=goldfish;
                            //ourAnimals[1]=crocodile;
                            //ourAnimals[2]=elephant;
                            //ourAnimals[3]=gazelles;
                            //ourAnimals[4]=shark;
                            //ourAnimals[5]=snakes;

                            string name, gender, weight;

                            name = "the Goldfish";
                            gender = "Female";
                            weight = "One Ounce";

                            goldfish -> setName(name);
                            goldfish -> setGender(gender);
                            goldfish -> setWeight(weight);

                            }

                            Added the constructor and destructor for the Animals (misname? Wouldn't be better 'Animal'?) class:

                            class Animals
                            {
                            public:
                            Animals(void){};
                            virtual ~Animals(void){};
                            //...

                            Again and again: use the debugger and have a look at the call stack window. :)

                            noticed (with some help from inside sources) that in the problem is with the compiler for some odd reason it doesn't like creating a 3rd variable of string in Animals. I moved weight be to be first and name was last (3rd) then it showed Bad ptr message in the debugger. its a very strange error....

                              I have been trying to figure out what is wrong with this code. its probably something really obvious just that isn't clear to me. I would like any help that can be given, thanks.

                              int main(int argc,char* argv[])
                              {
                              Animals *ourAnimals[6];

                              Animals *goldfish = new Goldfish();
                              Animals *crocodile = new Crocodiles();
                              Animals *elephant = new Elephants();
                              Animals *gazelles = new Gazelles();
                              Animals *shark = new Sharks();
                              Animals *snakes = new Snakes();

                              ourAnimals[0]=goldfish;
                              ourAnimals[1]=crocodile;
                              ourAnimals[2]=elephant;
                              ourAnimals[3]=gazelles;
                              ourAnimals[4]=shark;
                              ourAnimals[5]=snakes;

                              string name, gender, weight;

                              name = "the Goldfish";
                              gender = "Female";
                              weight = "One Ounce";

                              goldfish -> setName(name);
                              goldfish -> setGender(gender);
                              goldfish -> setWeight(weight);

                              }

                              and this is the class

                                Even stranger ... I have copied your code, compiled and run it and it works perfectly! May I suggest the extracts you have posted lack some information relevant to the problem.

                                  I think there's nothing wrong in his method signature. Why should he pass the string by value? :)

                                  Yes, the old brain only working on one cylinder...confusing string with char*. :sigh:

                                    Don't be so sure. You may have just moved the problem to another, less-sensitive location.

                                    well, apparently something was wrong with that computer. I was working with it at school and now that I am home, the program works fine. Makes me feel really stupid.... worked 4 hours on that thing and the problem was with the computer. i didn't get anything done....
