There is limited information available here but I would say that your Score constructor has not initialised ipScore or iSize.
If you are hell-bent on using a pointer to a dynamically allocated array of ints for your score then at least null out the pointer in the constructor and test for null in the average function (i.e. no scores yet).
Better yet... use a std::vector of int for your scores.
Why are people still using new and delete? What the hell are they teaching in schools?
What I think you want is this:
#include <vector>
class Score {
public:
Score()
: _scores()
, _average(0)
{ }
void calcAverage() {
double total = 0;
if(auto s = _scores.size() > 0) {
for (const auto& v : _scores)
total += v;
total /= s;
}
_average = total;
}
virtual void curve() = 0;
protected:
// one of the few correct uses of 'protected' - giving limited access to data as interface to derived classes
const std::vector<double>& scores() const {
return _scores;
}
// or
std::vector<double> copyScores() const {
return _scores;
}
private:
// use doubles since you'll be doing floating point arithmetic
std::vector<double> _scores;
double _average;
};
class Curve1 : public Score {
public:
virtual void curve() override {
// custom curve function here
// written in terms of scores() or copyScores() if you want to make changes to the array
}
};
class Curve2 : public Score {
public:
virtual void curve() override {
// custom curve function here
// written in terms of scores();
}
};
