Question

I am having an unexplained vector out of range error!

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < studentsVector.size(); i++) {

    bool anyFailedFacultyCourse = false;
    bool anyFailedElectiveCourse = false;
    // Check if all faculty courses are done
    std::cout << currentSemester << std::endl;
    if (currentSemester > 1) {
        std::cout << "hi" << std::endl;

        for (int j = 0; j < currentSemester - 1; j++) {
            if (studentsVector.at(i)->getPlan().at(j).size() > 0) {

                anyFailedFacultyCourse = true;
            }
        }

        std::cout << "bye" << std::endl;

After debugging, I noticed that the program does get into the first for loop, assigns proper values for AnyFailedFacultyCourse and anyFailedElectiveCourse, prints the int currentSemester. And there it stops!
I put a debug breakpoint at:

if (currentSemester > 1)

and it just gives me an out_of_range error before it even checks! Meaning it does not even get into if (currentSemester > 1)
But there is nothing in between! I mean, how could it throw anything like that when, where it throws the error, I did NOTHING to any vector!

I know this is kind of mysterious, ask for any further information you need.

Further info:
How students vector is declared:

std::vector<Student*> studentsVector;
currentSemester:

int currentSemester = 1;

Answer 1

I bet the breakpoint you set isn’t triggered because the condition isn’t true: that is with currentSemester being 1 the condition is clearly false and the code skips to whatever is happening after the conditional block. You haven’t shown what is happening, there, however.
