Error: Debug Assertion Failed
I'm able to build my program w/o any errors, but when I go to build it, it gives me an error.This is the output from debug:

The MSVC compiler, when doing a debug build, inserts/activates sanity checks within standard library code. One of those checks fails during runtime.
Your program either has a logical error or you don't check that the input is correct. Either way, you try to misuse an object/function (probably string-related).
