Having a problem when assigning a value to an array. I have a class I created called Treasury. I created another class called TradingBook which I want to contain a global array of Treasury that can be accessed from all methods in TradingBook. Here is my header files for TradingBook and Treasury:
class Treasury{
public:
Treasury(SBB_instrument_fields bond);
Treasury();
double yieldRate;
short periods;
};
class TradingBook
{
public:
TradingBook(const char* yieldCurvePath, const char* bondPath);
double getBenchmarkYield(short bPeriods) const;
void quickSort(int arr[], int left, int right, double index[]);
BaseBond** tradingBook;
int treasuryCount;
Treasury* yieldCurve;
int bondCount;
void runAnalytics(int i);
};
And here is my main code where I'm getting the error:
TradingBook::TradingBook(const char* yieldCurvePath, const char* bondPath)
{
//Loading Yield Curve
// ...
yieldCurve = new Treasury[treasuryCount];
int periods[treasuryCount];
double yields[treasuryCount];
for (int i=0; i < treasuryCount; i++)
{
yieldCurve[i] = new Treasury(treasuries[i]);
//^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^LINE WITH ERROR^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
}
}
I am getting the error:
No match for
'operator='on the line'yieldCurve[i] = new Treasury(treasuries[i]);'
Any advice?

That's because yieldCurve[i] is of type Treasury, and new Treasury(treasuries[i]); is a pointer to a Treasury object. So you have a type mismatch.
Try changing this line:
yieldCurve[i] = new Treasury(treasuries[i]);
to this:
yieldCurve[i] = Treasury(treasuries[i]);
Treasury* yieldCurve;
yieldCurve is a pointer to an array of Treasury, not Treasury*. Drop the new at the line with error, or modify the declaration for it to be an array of pointers.
