    Whats wrong with my vector usage?

    It prints out the first three names but the program freezes/stop when I resize it. Whats up?

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    #include <vector>
    
    typedef struct _Data
    {
     string Name;
     int Age;
    }Data;
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
     vector<Data> Access(3);
     Access[0].Name= "John";
     Access[1].Name= "Abraham";
     Access[2].Name= "Jamal";
     int i;
    
     for(i= 0; i< Access.size(); i++)
     {
      Access[i].Age= 14 + i;
     }
    
     for(i= 0; i< Access.size(); i++)
     {
      cout << Access[i].Name << "\t\t" << Access[i].Age << endl;
     }
    
     Access.resize(5);
     Access[4].Name= "Sean";
     Access[5].Name= "James";
    
     for(i= 4; i< Access.size(); i++)
     {
      Access[i].Age= 13 + i;
     }
    
     for(i= 4; i< Access.size(); i++)
     {
      cout << Access[i].Name << "\t\t" << Access[i].Age << endl;
     }
    
     cin.get();
     return 0;
    }

    A vector of size n has addressable elements 0 to n-1.

    I just told you...

    It should be stopping just after you resize the vector, when you assign a value to the element with index 5.

    When you resize the vector to length 5(that would be n), that means you can address values from 0 to 4 (n-1). But not 5.
