Hi all,
As a newbie, I'm still teaching myself the C++ language, and having a bit of trouble finding exactly where my error is. The program builds just fine, It runs just fine, however, at the end of the run, when I exit the program I get the following error.
1 2
Run Tine Check Failure #2 - Stack around variable 'thirdball' was corrupted.
and I cannot find where the error is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The part of my code wherein the error lies is:
if(userinput == 2) // checks to see if a user inputed a set of numbers that has ever won the Megamoney lotto
