I'm trying to access and change the information stored in one class (my baseship class) and have it display in another (ship builder class). I know that I need to use getters and setters to do this (come from a c#/xna background) as I will also need to change to information stored in the baseship class as well.

My base ship .h looks like this:

#pragma once
#include <stdlib.h>


class BaseShip
{
protected:

public:
BaseShip(void);
~BaseShip(void);
int speed;

//getters
int GetSpeed();

//setters
void SetSpeed(int speed);

};


the .cpp

#include "BaseShip.h"
#include <stdlib.h>


BaseShip::BaseShip(void)
{
}


BaseShip::~BaseShip(void)
{
}

void BaseShip::SetSpeed(int speed)
{
this->speed = speed;
}

int BaseShip::GetSpeed()
{
return speed;
}


Now in the class I'm trying to access it I add in the include to the baseship.h file in the required classes.h. Then I create a pointer like:

BaseShip *ship;

The only problem is, when I try to use ship in the class I don't get access to my set or get methods (only need it to return/display a number). All I get is the ~BaseShip.

Can anyone see what it is I'm doing wrong?
