I am trying to reference a 2d dynamic array which i used pointer to pointers to declare.

the constructors run without a problem but as soon as i run another function or an overloaded operator i get errors. Its almost like i am referencing the array in the pointers incorrectly. I am new to this language so i am having some trouble with the syntax that may be simple just no knowledge of it. any help would be greatly appreciated.


here is the implementation file

#include<iostream>
#include "matrixType.h"

for(int row = 0; row < matrix.maxRow; row++)

{
osObject << matrix.matrix[row][col] << " ";
}
}
return osObject;
}

matrixType matrixType::operator +(const matrixType& right)const
{

matrixType temp;
if ((maxRow == right.maxRow) && (maxCol == right.maxCol))
{
for (int row = 0; row < maxRow; row++)
{
for (int col = 0; col < maxCol; col++)
{
temp.matrix[col][row] = matrix[col][row] + right.matrix[col][row];
}
}
}
else
cout << "The matrices dimensions do not match and therefore cannot be added together.";

return temp;
}

matrixType matrixType::operator - (const matrixType& right) const

{
