10.2 Indirect Sort Output Error #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a text file with string input of variable lengths
2. Run the book solution for 10.2 (pg 288) over the input file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to see sorted strings in output file, instead I see memory addresses.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.1.5, Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

the lines
for (const T* p : P) {
     ofs << p << endl;
}

shouldn't it be the de-referenced pointer
" ofs << *p << endl; "

otherwise we write out the pointer addresses to file.
