Answer 1

I fixed it for you, your setLevel function was wrong:

Answer 2

You made some mistakes with the setlevel() method in derived class. It should be:

class LightningDragon:public Dragon {

public:

void setLevel(int l){
level = l;
}

LightningDragon(int l){
setLevel(l);
}

// ...
};

Answer 3

You declared int setLevel inside the constructor, and in the function lower down you declared a level variable inside setLevel(), instead of setting the value to the "level" member.

@Karl T

Thank you!

I am reviewing the code.

Where is the issue with the setLevel(); ?

@Hatsy answered it already

Answer 5

@Hatsy

Thank you!

it makes sense a set function should not return the value.

Then it must have been returning addresses or random values

Answer 6

The code is large, so I left comments in the main on the getLevel(); function.

The function giving me trouble.

Answer 7

I am trying the edit the set and get functions to get the result I want.

Answer 8

Lol

Thanks again,

spent a lot of time trying to find a solution.

I did not see the extra " int" derailing the function.
