I am currently working in C++ and I face this challenge. Here is a code of my class in the header file:

 class PID
 {
 private:
 int PID;
 int total;
 
 public:
 PID(); // Constructor
 int returnPID(); // Returns PID.
 };

Here is the code declaration in cpp file:

 PID::PID()
 {
 PID=INT_MAX;
 total=0;
 }
 
 int PID::returnPID()
 {
 return PID;
 }

And here is the declaration and the initialization in main of a table contaning pointers to objects of the class PID:

 PID* table[1000000];

 for (int i=0; i<1000000; i++)
 {
 table[i]=new PID;
 }

So I suppose this uses the constructor I have created above to set the PID to MAX_INT. **When I try to access the content of table[i].PID using returnPID within the initialization for everything works great**, something like this:

 for (int i=0; i<1000000; i++)
 {
 table[i]=new PID;
 int display=table[i]->returnPID();
 cout<<display<<endl;
 }

The problem occurs when I am trying to access table[i] contents outside and after the initialization for. My main crashes and it returns a number (-1073741571) as an error. It seems like not even one command from the main is executed. Here is a sample of the code that seems to reproduce the problem:

 for (int i=0; i<1000000; i++)
 {
 table[i]=new PID;
 }
 for (int i=0; i<1000000; i++)
 {
 int display=table[i]->returnPID();
 cout<<display<<endl;
 }

I have been working on this for more than two hours without coming to any solution and it just doesn't seem logical. Anyone have any explanation for this?

**EDIT:** Any table with less than 1.000.000 spots will work correctly. Maybe it has something to do with this although I still don't see the connection.
