C++ Inheritance help needed?

A few things:

I got an error on this line:

sponsor = s;

s is a const char *, but sponsor is just a char *. You can't discard constness like that. You want:

const char *sponsor;

The output is wrong. Look at this bit:

car::car( const char *name, const char *color )

{

name = name;

color = color;

What does name refer to on the left side of the = sign? On the right side?

Well, they certainly refer to the same thing. Which means you are assigning something to itself, which is a NOP. Change the parameter names.

In your destructor, you are calling:

delete [] name;

But you didn't allocate name, you shouldn't be deleting it.

Since this is C++, you really should be using strings rather than char *'s. But you can make it work with char * if you must.
