  • That's because of this part of the code:
  • ```
  • Book(string aTitle, string aAuthor, int aPages){
  • aTitle = title;
  • aAuthor = author;
  • aPages = pages;
  • }
  • ```
  • You're attibuting the properties from the class to the function parameter values. As the properties aren't initialized yet, they're getting just random values. It should have been the oposite. Like this:
  • ```
  • Book(string aTitle, string aAuthor, int aPages){
  • title = aTitle;
  • author = aAuthor;
  • pages = aPages;
  • }
  • ```

  • you can also use member initializer syntax:
  • ```
  • Book(string aTitle, string aAuthor, int aPages) : title(aTitle), author(aAuthor), pages(aPages) {
  • }
  • ```
  • or like this:
  • ```
  • Book(string aTitle, string aAuthor, int aPages) : title{aTitle}, author{aAuthor}, pages{aPages} {
  • }
  • ```

That's because of this part of the code:


```
Book(string aTitle, string aAuthor, int aPages){
	aTitle = title;
	aAuthor = author;
	aPages = pages;
}
```

You're attibuting the properties from the class to the function parameter values. As the properties aren't initialized yet, they're getting just random values. It should have been the oposite. Like this:

```
Book(string aTitle, string aAuthor, int aPages){
	title = aTitle;
	author = aAuthor;
	pages = aPages;
}
```
