*When I compile the program it works. However, when I try to run the program, it outputs the first message then gives me the following error-*

CSCI112LAB2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

*And when I tried to debug it*

Unhandled exception at 0x7855b690 in CSCI112LAB2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.
There is no source code available for the current location.

*And this appears in the output box*

The program '[5520] CSCI112LAB2.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

*So…I have no idea how to fix this. I played around with it for a while and still can’t get it to work. I don’t understand what I can do to fix an error when it says that there is no source code at the location to fix.*


*New error message! – I just got this one this morning when I tried to run the debug. I have no idea what it means, except for the invalid null pointer part, but I don’t think I was using any pointers that I myself deliberately put there.*

Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: …Visual Studio 2008\Projects\CSCI112LAB2\Debug\CSCI112LAB2.exe
File: f:\dd\vctools\crt_bld\self_x86\crt\src\xstring

Expression: invalid null pointer

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
