Class pointer problem

[Tonlee]

What's wrong with my code?
I create the vector<Employ*> v. The v[0]->calcSalary() should be 500 but it was a wrong number 687194768.

#include<iostream>
#include<algorithm>
#include<vector>
#include<iterator>
using namespace std;

  class Employee{
	int _hours;
	int _hourlyPay;
public:
	Employee(int hours, int hourlyPay) :_hours(hours), _hourlyPay(hourlyPay){}
	int calcSalary(){ return _hours*_hourlyPay; }
};

class EmployeeGen{
public:
	Employee* operator()(){
		Employee a(10, 50);
		return &a;
	}
};

int main(){
	vector<Employee*> v;
	
	generate_n(back_inserter(v), 10, EmployeeGen());
	cout<<v[0]->calcSalary();

}

Thank you

You can't return a pointer to a local from a function. You need to dynamically allocate your Employees. E.g. new Employee(10, 50)
