Code is updated in first post and the the only error i get is from debug mode, not the compiler of segmentation access error and it points to the Item class getItemCount() method

i dont think that if statement would fulfill the requirements as you are already checking a value that has been checked by the case statement. Not to mention if it value was lower case it would not execute because the case is looking for an upper case.

also in case I you forgot the closing bracket for your if statement

case 'I':
		if (waterType=='I'||waterType=='i'){
			if (waterUse<=1000000)
				cout << "Amount Due:$1000\n";
			else if ((waterUse>=1000001)&&(waterUse<=10000000))
				cout << "Amount Due:$2000\n";
			else waterUse>10000001;
				cout << "Amount Due:$3000\n";
} // This is the one you forgot to add
		break;

taking in account your suggestion and adjusting the code to fit the std::string, i still receive a count of zero, when adding the item. even though the char* was deprecated it was always return the proper name. although i still changed it. what my issue lies in is that i am giving the inventory 15 of the same item, and then when i check it there are 0
