displaying vector full of objects

bkoper16 (9)
I am trying to make my program print out the contents of a vector containing objects of class type Checking
i want it to print the balance of each element in the vector but when i try to use
cout<<checking[1]


all i get is nonsense characters

here is what i have so far

#include "checking.h"
#include "savings.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   vector < Checking * > checking(50) ;
vector < Savings *> savings(50);
int accNumS = 0, accNumC = 0;
double bal = 0, amt = 0;
while(accNumC < 3)
{
cout << "Enter balance for accont #" << accNumC+1 << ": ";
			cin >> bal;
              	checking[accNumC] = new Checking(accNumC+1,bal);
              	accNumC++;
              	
}              	
cout << checking[1]<<"\n";
cout << checking[2]<<"\n";
cout << checking[3]<<"\n";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}


account.h(checking inherits from this)

cout<<checking[1] is outputting the address of the class object at 1.

your vector is made of class pointers. If you want to show what is being pointed to then use the dereference operator or the -> operator
