Open gl sprite class not working - c++

Question

So first of all, i am a total beginner in open gl, and i am learning opengl from learnopengl.com. So i understood whats going on in the code in the main method.The code works in main method. But when i tried to create a class for it, it doesn't render anything!! I have absolutely no idea whats going wrong!
Sprite.h
#pragma once
#include"Shader.h"
#include<GL\glew.h>
class Sprite {
GLuint vao;
GLuint vbo;
int vertexCount;
Shader shader;
public:
Sprite(const GLfloat vertices[9], int noOfVertices, Shader s = Shader()) : vertexCount(noOfVertices) , shader(s)
{
glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao);
glGenBuffers(1, &vbo);
glBindVertexArray(vao);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo);
glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(vertices), vertices, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
glVertexAttribPointer(0, this->vertexCount, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, nullptr);
glEnableVertexAttribArray(0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glBindVertexArray(0);
}
void draw() {
glBindVertexArray(this->vao);
glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLES, 0, this->vertexCount);
glBindVertexArray(0);
}
};

Sprite s(vertices, 3);

glfwWindowHint(GLFW_VERSION_MINOR, 3);

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glfwPollEvents();
s.draw();
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
}
}
Please help me out!!
Note:- The code in the main method renders the white triangle without the
shaders,so my graphics card works without shaders.
Also the Console class i have created is just to print to the console and has nothing to do with the opengl stuff. Console.Log isstd::cout<< and Console.Wait is std::cin.get();

Answer 1

There are at least two problems. The first is that your sizeof(vertices) in Sprite produces wrong result, because it gives the size of a pointer, not the size of the array. To fix it, replace it with sizeof(GLfloat) * 9.
The second problem is that you are specifying the OpenGL context version too late, after creating the window and context. To fix it, call these methods before glfwCreateWindow, not after:
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_VERSION_MAJOR, 3);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_VERSION_MINOR, 3);
