I just got a new computer running windows 8, and I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. I am trying to finish a homework problem, so that I can fix any errors in it. I'm not sure if my coding is causing the error when I debug, so I have included it as well. It is not complete yet, I still need to look it over and fix any mistakes
