I am creating an application to keep track of a bookstore inventory. It will take the filepath to a text file containing the information as an argument to main. The problem I am having seems to be whenever I attempt to access an element of the class state vector inventory that I am using to store my Item objects. First is the class header, followed by the method definitions, and then the main. Thanks in advance.
