subscript requires array or pointer type

AmazingBKaiser (28)
I am getting this Error but I am not sure why. My function even returns a pointer to an array.
Error 2 error C2109: subscript requires array or pointer type c:\users\[user]\desktop\pedris khan\creepie crawlers\creepie crawlers\crawler.cpp 118 1 Creepie Crawlers

Molekule Molekule::getMolekuleList(){Returns a single value of type Molekule

mol.getMolekuleList[x];Trying to ally subscript operator to a single variable
keskiverto (10402)
In the mol.getMolekuleList[x], the subscript operator [] is applied to whatever the mol.getMolekuleList is. We only know about Molekule Molekule::getMolekuleList(), but in that case there should be a function call:
mol.getMolekuleList()[x]

In that case, as already noted, the subscript operator would be applied to a Molekule object (which is neither a pointer, array, or have subscript operator of its own).


PS. The line 2 in Molekule::getMolekuleList():
Molekule *molList = new Molekule[];
How many bytes does that allocate?

LOL I am so dumb.
I forgot the () and some other minor stuff.

		molList.push_back(r);
		molList.push_back(s);
		molList.push_back(y);
		molList.push_back(u);
		molList.push_back(x);
with vector <Molekule> molList = {c, t, g, h, i, j, p, q, r, s, y, u, x};

Or alternatively replace the entire body with
return { {"Adenine", "A", ""}, {"Cytosine", "C", ""}, ect...};
