Question

i get the compiler error "ISO C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer" line 41 below. how do I compare the pointer value to the integer 100?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Stock.h"

Stock::Stock() //error if used
{
  
}

Stock::Stock(char* Symbol, int SharesOwned, float CurrentPrice, float PurchasePrice)
{
   strcpy(this->Symbol, Symbol);
   this->SharesOwned = SharesOwned;
   this->CurrentPrice = CurrentPrice;
   this->PurchasePrice = PurchasePrice;
   CheckIfBuyCandidate();

}
void Stock::CheckIfBuyCandidate(void)
{
   if (CurrentPrice <= PurchasePrice)
   {
       if (SharesOwned < 100) /// line 41
       {
           IsBuyCandidate = true;
       }
   }
}

bool Stock::GetBuyCandidate(void)
{
   return IsBuyCandidate;
}
char * Stock::GetName(void)
{
   return Symbol;
}
Stock::~Stock()
{
}

Explanation / Answer

Since you have copied SharesOwned so the location this->SharesOwned better to use this->SharesOwned < 100 which is accessed through some reference to the location which is stored otherwise it will result in ambiguity.
