    readmoviedata(md);

  • `moviedata *md = new moviedata;` creates one single object. `md[i]` is only valid for `i == 0`. Use `std::vector` instead. – HolyBlackCat Apr 16 '18 at 20:06

Problem is that you are creating the one pointer variable of struct type.

moviedata *md = new moviedata;

and you are treating this variable like array.

 ptr[i].yearreleased;

  • I changed moviedata *md = new moviedata[15] its still not working – blackpanther Apr 16 '18 at 20:29

    @blackpanther you have three or more bugs. Muhammad has shown you one and you have fixed it. drescherjm left you a comment about another. A Third is outlined at [Why does std::getline() skip input after a formatted extraction?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21567291/why-does-stdgetline-skip-input-after-a-formatted-extraction) – user4581301 Apr 16 '18 at 20:55
