100 100+
Hi ,
I have a const member function which returns a protected member of a class.Like this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. class A
  2. {
  3. protected:
  4. int Number;
  5. public:
  6.  int   Get_Number   (void) const   { return(Number);  }
  7. };
  8.  
  9.  

I want to use the value returned by the Get_Number function.
How can i do

int temp=Data.Get_Number(); is giving me an execption(Data is of type "A&")


Can anyone help me??...

This works for me. Did you change your code for this posting??

You do need a constructor to initialize your data member.
