float topspeed=-1.#QNAN0?!??!??!?!??!

Here''s a simple program i did while learning OOP. class CVehicle //no base classes { friend class CWeathersystem; private: unsigned int weight,capacity; float topspeed; public: void printdata(); unsigned int getweight(){return weight;} unsigned int getcapacity(){return capacity;} float gettopspeed(){return topspeed;} int setweight(unsigned int newweight); int setcapacity(unsigned int newcapacity); int settopspeed(float newtopspeed); }; this is the Vehicle class. CWeathersystem is a friend class that has a apply() function to apply weather to the Vehicle data (no real use just to learn OOP..) class CWeathersystem { private: float windspeed,rainrate,sunlight; public: int apply(CVehicle* pVehicle); int setdefaults(float windspeed=10.0,float rainrate=25.0,float sunlight=1.21); }; now the function int apply(CVehicle* pVehicle) applies the modifications to CVehicle class data: int CWeathersystem::apply(CVehicle* pVehicle) { //check pointer is not null pointer if(!pVehicle) return 0; //modify CVehicle''s data using our private data pVehicle->topspeed/=((1-rainrate)*(20-windspeed)); return 1; }; so this is the problem: No matter what the values are at, apply() ALWAYS gives me a float topspeed result of -1.#QNAN0 ?!? Doesn''t make any sense. And also when I try to create an instance of CWeathersystem it gives me an error: int CWeathersystem::apply(CVehicle* pVehicle) { //check pointer is not null pointer if(!pVehicle) return 0; //modify CVehicle''s data using our private data pVehicle->topspeed/=((1-rainrate)*(20-windspeed)); return 1; }local_weather; //doesn''t work Thanks for taking your time to reply.. It is a bit long.
