I need help... appropriate questions have been asked in the comments. The programs has zero compiler errors and warnings!! I have concerns with calling a member function from another member function using function pointers. (To be precise, setMatrixto() is trying to call setElement() function using function pointer)
Plus somehow the "hello there" is not being printed to the console. I was expecting it to show up as output.Maybe the setMatrixto() is not getting called at all!!

EDIT2: I added all the class definitions and main function in one single file. SURPRISINGLY!! this works . I am confused??!!!

There is nothing wrong with the code in both cases. Its just my debugger was not running in admin mode. I got error code 740. So I launched my IDE in admin mode and voila it worked.
