SDL Gettin Pixel Color

I am trying to get pixel color at a certain location. I have my function which returns the rgb of the pixel using SDL_Color. I want to check if this is actually working so after the color is returned I want to check the rgb values, by looking at color.r, color.b, color.g.
Whenever I check them though, there is nothing stored in color.r, color.b, color.g. Shouldn't there be a number between 0-255 stored in each one? Code is below, thanks.
What do you mean 'nothing'? obviously it contains some values, do you mean that they are not what you expect?
Also, I think the r, g, b are chars, so they are printed as such, which might make you think that their values are invalid. Try this instead:

cout << int(colour.r) << " " << int(colour.g) << " " << int(colour.b);
Typically you need to lock a surface with SDL_LockSurface before you can directly access a pixel. The only exception is if SDL_MUSTLOCK(surface) evaluates to 0. Make sure you unlock the surface when you're done.

Thanks Gage64, putting in int(colour.g) worked. Before it showed nothing, meaning as if colour.g = " "; , just a space.
Also MJP , I have locksurface, but I just didn't include it in the code I posted. Thanks though :)
