Please use code tags: [code]Your code[/code]
Read this: http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/z13hAqkS/

The problem is here:

information()
{
numberOfChildren=0;
string* childrenNames = new string[numberOfChildren]; // Note: write 'childrenNames = nullptr' instead
...
int* volume = new int[numberOfChildren]; // Note: write 'volume = nullptr' instead
You allocate an array with the size 0.

You need to do the allocation when you actually know the size of the array. After this line:
cin >> pointer[i].numberOfChildren;

By the way:

information()
{
numberOfChildren=0;
string* childrenNames = new string[numberOfChildren]; // Note: this is a local variable. The member variable is not affected
length=0;
width=0;
height=0;
int* volume = new int[numberOfChildren]; // Note: this is a local variable. The member variable is not affected
}

=D it works o.O did that change

pointer[i].childrenNamenew=string[pointer[i].numberOfChildren];
pointer[i].volumenew=int[pointer[i].numberOfChildren];

thanks again bro i think i can complete the code now i appreciate ur help ^_^
