Hi there,
Hopefully I won't fit the stereotype of the typical student posting his
assignment to be written for him, but I am quite stuck. If anyone could
give me some help in how to create dynamic objects (which inherit from
a base class) and storing them in a vector, it would be absolutely
wonderful at this point. I think from there I might be able to sculpt
the rest of the program without (too much) trouble. I'll post what I've
been trying to do so far and also the header file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
#include "a3.h"
string queryInput;
// Don't forget to supply your information in the function below . . .
void displayInfo()
{
cout << "----------------------------------------" << endl;
cout << "Assignment 3 Semester 1 2006" << endl;
cout << " Submitted by: Donald, Duck, 00000000" << endl;
cout << "----------------------------------------" << endl;
cout << endl << queryInput << endl;
}
//Driver for the Media/Movie classes for assignment 3,
//2006, Semester 1
int main()
{
cout<<"Media Database Control Program v0.4b\n\n"<<
"Please enter the title of the media record you wish to view: ";
getline(cin, queryInput);
cout<<"\n\nAccessing record for "<<queryInput<<"...."<<endl<<endl;
// Call the global function to print Student/Group names and IDs
displayInfo();
// Container of Media pointers
vector<Media *> mediaItems;
Media::readFromFile("/a3-input.txt", mediaItems);
// Display to the screen
for(unsigned i = 0; i < mediaItems.size(); i++)
{
mediaItems->display(); // use the polymorphic display function
cout<<endl;
}

for(unsigned i=0; i<mediaItems.size(); i++)
{

value += ptr->getPrice() * ptr->getNumberInStock();
nItems += ptr->getNumberInStock();
}
cout << "Total stock value of " << nItems << " items is " << value <<

return 0;

i++;

dataBase.close();

Here is the header file....
