Hi, I am trying to write a program for my mum who is a teacher, the program needs to be able to store students information like their name address SAT scores etc. I have a basic background in c, but i decided to try and implement this program using c++. what i have done so far compiles but the program keeps crashing whenever i try to enter the section of the program where i have to add students into my vectors.
Here is my code
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#define MAXSTUDENTS 200
using namespace std;
class Options{
public:
void welcome(void);
int main_menu(void);
Options add(void);
void search(void);
void remove(void);
void display(void);
private:
vector<Options> info;
string firstname, lastname, middlename;
int birthyear, birthmonth, birthdate;
int contacticenumber;
string contacticename;
int housenumber;
string streetname, city, postcode;
string allergies;
string SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, SAT4, SAT5, SAT6, SAT7, SAT8, SAT9;
};
void Options::welcome()

cout << ". ";
for (int x = 0; x < 500; x ++)
{
for (int y = 0; y < 200000; y++)
{}
}
}
system("cls");
}
int Options::main_menu()
{
int selection;
char answer;
cout << "Please select from the following: " << endl << endl;
cout << "1. Search Students" << endl << "2. Add Student" << endl << "3. Remove Student" << endl << "4. Exit Program" << endl;

if (selection < 1 || selection > 4)
{
system("cls");
cout << "Sorry that was not an option, please try again\nPress any key to return to the main menu";
cin.get();
system("cls");
return Options::main_menu();
}
if (selection != 4)
{
cout << endl << "You have chosen " << selection << ", is this correct (y/n)?" << endl;
cin >> answer;
}
else
{
cout << endl << "Do you want to exit the program (y/n)?" << endl;
cin >> answer;
}
if (answer == 'y')
{
switch (selection){

}Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
