vectors and structs == problems (c++)[please help, I beg]

[malfist]

Hey, I have this vector of structs and I can't seem to add any data to it, I get the error "insufficient contextual information to determine type".

Any help you be appreciated, heres some code snippets:

struct bid {
int amount;
string id;
bid(int a, string i) {
amount = a;
id = i;
}
};

class BidManager{
private:
int offers;
vector<bid> bids();
public:
BidManager();
void insertBid(bid& b);
void printBids() const;
};


and the insertBid part (where the error is occuring, on every insertion or push_back)

void BidManager::insertBid(bid& b) {
if(offers = 0)
bids.insert(bids.begin(),b);
else if(b.amount <= ((bid)bids.at(0)).amount) {
bids.insert(bids.begin(),b);
return;
}
else {
offers++;
vector<bid>::iterator it = bids.begin();
for(int i=0;i<offers;i++) {
if(b.amount > ((bid)bids.at(i)).amount){ //next!
it++;
continue;
else {
bids.insert(it,b); //if it is less than than, obviously, it needs to go infront of it
return;
}
}
//reached the end without finding a sport for it
//must be largest
bids.push_back(b);
}
}

nevermind, that just all of a sudden went away. :(

HELP! It's crashing on the first insertion, I even changed it to push_back and it's causeing a runtime error. :((

Not failing there, I changed code to:

void BidManager::insertBid(bid b) {
cout << "Entered BidManager::insertBid" << endl;
if(offers = 0) {
cout << "Offers is equal to 0, pushing back first element" << endl;
bids.push_back(b);
cout << "Entered first element" << endl;
}
else if(offers >= 100) {
cout << "Sorry, max bids reached" << endl;
return;
}
else if(b.amount <= ((bid)bids.at(0)).amount) {
cout << "Amount smaller than first element" << endl;
bids.insert(bids.begin(),b);
return;
}
else {
cout << "Main sort section entered" << endl;
offers++;
vector<bid>::iterator it = bids.begin();
for(int i=0;i<offers;i++) {
if(b.amount > ((bid)bids.at(i)).amount){ //next!
it++;
continue;
}
else {
bids.insert(it,b); //if it is less than than, obviously, it needs to go infront of it
return;
}
}
//reached the end without finding a sport for it
//must be largest
bids.push_back(b);
}
cout << "Exiting BidManager::bidInsert" << endl;
}

And the only output I'm getting is entered BidManager::bidInsert

can someone please help?

[malfist]

this sucks, using the assingment opperator instead of comparison :(

Not failing there, I changed code to:

void BidManager::insertBid(bid b) {
cout << "Entered BidManager::insertBid" << endl;
if(offers = 0) {

}


I assume you are refering to that segment, a common source of bugs...
