Problem when creating a number factorization class

[ispeakbinary]

I am trying to create a class for doing number factorization on a random number, so I need to create a pointer to store the factors of the number. But when I compiled it, I got an error. My question is 1)What did I do wrong? I have a feeling I did something wrong with the initialization, but I just couldn't pinpoint what the problem is. 2) Is there a better way to store a set of numbers beside using member pointer? for example, a member array. :)

Output:

class numFactor{
protected:
int *factorPtr;
int factorSize;
int inputNum;

//Constructor

:inputNum(num),*factorPtr(&ptr)
{}

//Mutator
void setinputNum(){inputNum=2+rand()%98;}
void setfactorPtr();

//Accessor
int getinputNum(){return inputNum;}

void numFactor::setfactorPtr()
{       
        // Find factors and put it in a stack
         stack<int> factorStack;
	 for(int i = 2; i < number; i++) // Test for factors > 1
	 {
		 if(number % i == 0) // It is a factor > 1
		 {
			 bool factor = true;
			 if(factor)
				 factorStack.push(i);
		 }
	 }

        //store the size of the factor
        factorSize=(int) factorStack.size();         

        // Store the stack in a pointer;
         *factorPtr=new int[factorSize];
         for(int i=0;i<factorSize;i++)
         { *(factorPtr+i)=factorStack.top();
           factorStack.pop();
          }
}

void numFactor::printinputNum()
{ cout<<"The input number is "<<inputNum<<endl;
}

void numFactor::printfactorPtr()
{ cout<<"The factor(s) is/are "
  for(int i=0; i<factorSize;i++)
  { cout<<*(factorPtr+i)<<"  ";}
  cout<<endl;

int main()

  test.setfactorPtr();

The error message itself says where you went wrong.Initialization of factorPtr in line 14 should be factorPtr(ptr) rather than *factorPtr(&ptr).

I made the modification you suggested, but it didn't seem to help. Here are the output after modification.

I made some more modification and it worked. Thank you. :)

Close the thread if you are done with the question.
