cant get the value in double pointer

[klimkiller]

Hi all,

I am having problem displaying the amount in the weekly sales. While i am able to get salesperson and noOfweek to display what i have set, the code is not able to show the correct value of amount which i have set it to be 50.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class WeeklySales 
	{
	char* salesPerson;
	double *amount; // Pointer to an array
	int noOfWeek; // Size of the array


public:
	WeeklySales(char* sp, double a, int week) 
	{
	salesPerson = sp;
	amount = &a;
	noOfWeek = week;
	}
     
void show() 
	{
     cout << salesPerson << "\n" << amount << "\n" << noOfWeek;
	}
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  WeeklySales ob("Adam", 50, 4); 
  ob.show();
  return 0;
}

On line 21 is *amount instead of amount

damn. didnt saw that. after making it into *amount and changing line 15 to new double (a); i finally got it to work.
thanks loads
