Thread: Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger Error

Hello everybody I'm in the middle of programming a basic console application that is supposed to be a stock market game for my programming class in c++. I have run into this weird error involving a Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger window popping up saying I have a Win 32 unhandled exception even though I am using Code::Blocks 10.05 as my IDE, not Visual C++.

Attachment 10148

Now my whole project is rather long(at least from my point of view) so far but basically what happens is that I have a main function, a class named CStock(which is what the stocks in my game are made from) and then a bunch of other functions that make up different parts of the program (generating a random number, publishing the prices to the console, and some others).

I had started out declaring the different stocks after the Class using their names (Gold, Silver, Beef, etc), but then I wanted to declare them as an array instead so that it would be easier to add or change the amount of stocks I had in the game.

Once I changed to declaring the stocks after the class as an array, however, I got the error. I do not receive the error if I declare the array of stocks during a seperate function (not directly after the class), but then I cannot access the array of stocks in all the functions of my program.

Here Is my code so far and I would greatly appreciate any help/ advice anyone has to offer.

Code:

//This class creates a stock with the initial name and value inputted
class CStock
{
        public:
            int iPrice, iTrend, iChange, iAmountOwned;
            string sStockName;
            CStock();                      //constructor

            void ChangePrice()
            //changes this stock's price
            {
                int iRanNum;
                iRanNum = RandomNumber(-50, 50);
                //iRanNum = (rand() % 101) - 50;
                iPrice+=iRanNum;
                iChange=iRanNum;
                iTrend+=iRanNum;
            };

            void PublishPrice()
            //publishes the current info for this stock
            {
                cout<<sStockName<<" Price: "<<iPrice<<" Change: "<<iChange<<" Trend: "<<iTrend<<endl;
            };

            void Buy(int iAmountToBuy)
            //Buys an amount of stocks for the user
            {
                int iTotalCost;
                //calculates total price
                iTotalCost=iAmountToBuy*iPrice;
                //only buys the stocks if you have enough money too
                if(iUserMoney>=iTotalCost)
                {
                iUserMoney=iUserMoney-iTotalCost;
                iAmountOwned+=iAmountToBuy;
                cout<<endl<<"Money: "<<iUserMoney<<" "<<sStockName<<" Owned: "<<iAmountOwned<<endl;
                }
                else{cout<<endl<<"Get more money you hobo!"<<endl;};
            };

            void Sell(int iAmountToSell)
            //Sells an amount of stocks for the user
            {   //only sells if you input a valid amount to sell
                if(iAmountOwned>0 && iAmountToSell<=iAmountOwned)
                {
                    int iMoneyEarned;
                    //calculates how much money you will earn and adds it to user's total money
                    iMoneyEarned=iAmountToSell*iPrice;
                    //as well as subtracting the amount of stocks that were sold
                    iAmountOwned-=iAmountToSell;
                    iUserMoney+=iMoneyEarned;
                    cout<<endl<<"Money: "<<iUserMoney<<" "<<sStockName<<" Owned: "<<iAmountOwned<<endl;
                }
                else{cout<<endl<<"You cannot sell that many!"<<endl;}   //outputs this message if an invalid amount is tried to be sold

            }

            void SetValues(string InpStockName, int InpPrice, int InpAmountOwned)
