C++ Regarding Copying Array to Vector and calling its variable / functions

Question

I got a array of this kind

VehicleTwoD *vehicletwod[100];

Then i create this vector

vector<VechicleTwoD*> sortVector;

Then i did this

//arrayCounter is an integer that record the element count of array vehicletwod
sortVector.assign(vehicletwod, vehicletwod+ arrayCounter);

But now i try call a function of vehicletwod by using

sortVector->getName();

It doesnt work, error message was sortVector does not have such function. how can i retrieve it or its impossible?

sortVector is of type vector<VehicleTwoD*> (I'm assuming that's what you meant), so it doesn't have that method. You probably want to call the method on an element in vector, in which case you can do:

sortVector[0]->getName();

which would call the method on the vector's first element.

Did you mean to invoke the function on sortVector[0]? (or any other member of the aggregate?)

It's possible you just need to say which element of the vector you want to call.

sortVector[i]->getName();
