Need help with a problem on my project

[TexasJr]

I'm writing a program for my class that is due tomorrow. I thought I was done, but as I starting using it to get an output file, I ran into a problem, and I can't get past it. I have also gone over my code to see if I made a mistake but I can't seem to find one.

This is the code to my program:

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include"time.h"
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    srand(time(NULL));

    //Constants
    const double SALESTAX = 0.08;
    const double DISCOUNTRATE = 0.05;
    const double DISCOUNT = 95;

    //Counts
    int customer, book;

    //Customer arrays
    string customer_Non[5][2]; // 1 = name, 2 = address
    int customer_Num[5][2]; // 1 = age, 2 = receipt#
    int quantity = 3; //3 books per customer

    //Book arrays
    string book_Non[5][3][3]; // 1 = book number, 2 = Title, 3 = Author
    int bookAisle[5][3]; // 1 aisle per book
    double bookPrice[5][3][2]; // 1 = book price, 2 = discount

    //Calculations
    double calculation[5][5];
    /* 1 = subtotal, 2= total discount, 3 = subtotal and discount
     * 4 = sales tax, 5 = Total to be paid */

    //Validations
    int customerValid [5][2]; //1 = name validation, 2 = address validation
    int bookValid[5][3][3]; //1 = booknum validation, 2 = title validation,
                            //3 = author validation
    ofstream fOut;
    fOut.open("Project4_A00635756_Output.txt");

    for(customer = 1; customer <= 5; customer++)

Pretty simple. Makes a "receipt" that is printed out on screen and in an output file based on inputted data. The problem is that when I get to the fourth customer, after entering the customers name and pressing enter, I get this problem from my compiler:

    1 [main] Project4v2 6652 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
    557 [main] Project4v2 6652 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to Project4v2.exe.stackdump

and this file is generated:

I would really appreciate some help with this, and if it helps any, I am using the Eclipse Indigo compiler.

I ran an earlier version of this code, that is missing a lot of the output stuff and all the validation, but has the same input, and just outputs the raw data of the arrays. I changed the number of books to 5, along with any 3's in the arrays that reffered to the book# to 5's to see if maybe it was stopping after the third customer because of the 3 in quantity of books, but I still had the problem after customer 3.

Anyone? I really need to turn this in in about 5 hours

The main problem I see is that you are indexing the arrays incorrectly, which is probably the cause of the segfault. In C++, arrays are zero-indexed, that is to say, an array arr[5] would have elements arr[0], arr[1], arr[2], arr[3], and arr[4]. When you try to access arr[5], you overrun the array and get an access violation.

What this means is that you need to fix all of the array indices in the program. Fortunately for you, I've done just that:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

    //Customer arrays
    string customer_Non[5][2]; // 1 = name, 2 = address
    int customer_Num[5][2]; // 1 = age, 2 = receipt#
    int quantity = 3; //3 books per customer

    //Book arrays
    string book_Non[5][3][3]; // 1 = book number, 2 = Title, 3 = Author
    int bookAisle[5][3]; // 1 aisle per book
    double bookPrice[5][3][2]; // 1 = book price, 2 = discount

    //Calculations

Mind you, this isn't how I would write this in the first place; I would use structure types or classes to represent the books and customers. However, since I don't know if you've covered those yet, I'll refrain from commenting further on this. I would also break the program up into several functions, but again, I don't know if you've covered those yet.

I don't know how I missed that, but you sir are a lifesaver! Thank you very much. Solved.
