Question

C++ Need Help!

Hello I get this error message when I use stoi to validate the user input (I want only integer no letters, no special character, no whitespace, no empty input).

And I have no clue what it's saying.

Please help.

This is what I have so far.(I bolded out the part where I have a problem with).

Thank you very much. I appreciate it!!

Microsoft Visual Studio Exception thrown at 0x75A5C42D in Midterm.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std:invalid argument at memory location 0x0036F340 f there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued. Break when this exception type is thrown Break and open Exception Settings Continue Ignore

Explanation / Answer

My suggstion please do the following thing while excuting the the c++ program in visual studio so that this kind of exceptions will not through ..

Just turn on first chance exception catching (in the menus Debug ==> Exceptions... or CTRL+ALT E in VS 2010)
and run it under debugger. It will stop immediately when the exception is thrown and you can go up the stack
to your code and (maybe) understand what is wrong.
