Question

The following code throws the aforementioned error message at the line where an object is added to a vector:

include "palm.h"
include <vector>

using namespace std;

class forehead {
  public:
    void palmstrikesforehead(float x, float y, float z);
  private:
    vector<palm> palms;

};

void forehead::palmstrikesforehead(float x, float y, float z) { 
  Palm::Palm palm(x,y,z);
  palms.push_back(palm); //Exception thrown if this line is not commented out.
}

The code works with a vector of integer type, but not with a vector of Palm type. What I would like to do is to anonymously add Palms to the vector (as in the java: arrayList.add(new Palm(x,y,z));. How may that be done?

Answer 1

The class name seems to be palm. So you should write

  palm the_palm (x, y, z);
//^^^^
  palms.push_back(the_palm);

Or you could construct the palm in-place:

  palms.push_back(palm(x, y, z));
