Question

Currently, I’m trying to make a function that sorts a vector full of fighters in the function sortFighters in the Fighter.cpp file. It all seems to compile correctly; However, when it does run, I get a fatal error in one of the lines of the aformentioned .cpp file. I know exactly what the problem is, and put a comment there accordingly.
So, what I’m asking here, is what I might do to fix this problem without adding any other functions and such.

Here’s my Fighter.h file:

#ifndef FIGHTER_H
#define FIGHTER_H

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

class Fighter
{   
protected:
        std::string name;
        int health, level;
        //int damage;
public: 
        int  getHealth(int);
        void getEnemies(std::vector<Fighter> &);
        void printFighter(std::vector<Fighter> &);
        void sortFighters(std::vector<Fighter> &);
        //friend std::istream & operator >> (std::istream & strm, Fighter & x);
        //friend std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream & strm, const Fighter & f);
        //void attack();
        Fighter();
        ~Fighter();
};

class Player : public Fighter 
{ 
    private:
        int experience;
    public:
        int  getHealth(int);
        void pri`enter code here`ntFighter();
        void getExperience(int);
        void playerAttack();    
        Player();
        ~Player();
};

//class FightPub
//{
//  private:
//      Player player;
//      Fighter enemy;
//  public:
//      //void fight();
//      //void getStats();
//};
#endif

My Fighter.cpp file:

//dynamically locate an array that holds the number of fighters, and for each fighter in the array, assign from the .txt 
//file the name and level from the fighter.
#include "Fighter.h"  

#pragma region getEnemies
void Fighter::getEnemies(std::vector<Fighter> &baddie)
{
    Fighter x;
    std::ifstream inputFile;
    inputFile.open("EnemyFighters.txt");
    if(!inputFile)
    {
        std::cout << "error!" << std::endl;
    }
    else
    {
        while(!inputFile.eof())
        {
            std::string line;
            inputFile >> line;
            if (line == "<fighter>")
            {
                do
                {
                    inputFile >> line;
                    x.name = line;
                    inputFile >> line;
                    x.level = atoi(line.c_str());
                    inputFile >> line;
                    x.health = getHealth(this->level);
                    baddie.push_back(x);
                    inputFile >> line;
                }while(line != "</fighter>");
            }                   
        }
        inputFile.close();
    }

And here’s main.cpp:

int main()

    unsigned seed = time(0);
    srand(seed);

    std::vector<Fighter> baddie;

    Fighter * enemy = new Fighter;
    Player * me = new Player;
    enemy->getEnemies(baddie);
    enemy->sortFighters(baddie);
    enemy->printFighter(baddie);
    me->printFighter();
    delete enemy;
    delete me;
    return 0;
}

    for (int i=0; i<=(x.size()); i++) 
    { 
        if(x[i].level > x[i+1].level)
        {

um.. Size() counts from 1. Indexes count from 0. So you’ll want to make that i < x.size(), not <=. But, in the very next line, you say x[i+1], so i can’t even reach the last item, it has to stop one before that:

    for (int i=0; i < x.size()-1; i++)
