I have a constructor for a Person class called "Person" it looks like this:

```
    Person(const char * their_name, const char * email, int day, int month, int year)
        : name(0), email_address(0), birthday(day, month, year) {

        name = new char [strlen(their_name)+1];
        strcpy_s(name, strlen(their_name) +1, their_name);

        email_address = new char[strlen(email) + 1]; 
        strcpy_s(email_address, strlen(email) + 1, email); 

        cout << "\nPerson(...) FIRST CONSTRUCTOR CREATING: "<<name<<"\n";
        printOn(cout);
    }

```

I have private variables in this class:

```
private: 
    char * name; 
    char * email_address; 
    Date birthday; 

```

I think there is an off by 1 error or something in here, because when I test my constructor like this in main:

```
Person *p1 = new Person("Sarah", "iam@awesome.com", 2,2,1000);

```

this prints to my console:

```
Person(...) FIRST CONSTRUCTOR CREATING: Sarah
ààà

```

I don't understand why it is printing the a's after the constructor runs... Can anyone see the issue?

EDIT: My printOn method

```
/*print person on output stream o*/
    virtual void printOn(ostream & o) const { 
        //print person
         o << "………";
    } 

```

and overriden << operator

```
ostream & operator<<(ostream & ostr, const Person & p) { 
    p.printOn(ostr); 
    return ostr; 
} 

```
