Question

Whenever I type the command to run this function in my program, it runs and then crashes saying:

“The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusal way.”

Why does it do this?

void showInventory(player& obj) {
    std::cout << "\nINVENTORY:\n";
    for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
        std::cout << obj.getItem(i);
        i++;
        std::cout << "\t\t\t" << obj.getItem(i) << "\n";
    }
}

std::string getItem(int i) {
        return inventory[i];
    }

In this code:

std::string toDo(player& obj) //BY KEATON
{
    std::string commands[5] =   // This is the valid list of commands.
    {"help", "inv"};

    std::string ans;
    std::cout << "\nWhat do you wish to do?\n>> ";
    std::cin >> ans;

    if(ans == commands[0]) {
        helpMenu();
        return NULL;
    }
    else if(ans == commands[1]) {
        showInventory(obj);
        return NULL;
    }
}

Needs to be:

std::string toDo(player& obj) //BY KEATON
{
    std::string commands[5] =   // This is the valid list of commands.
    {"help", "inv"};

    std::string ans;
    std::cout << "\nWhat do you wish to do?\n>> ";
    std::cin >> ans;

    if(ans == commands[0]) {
        helpMenu();
        return "";
    }
    else if(ans == commands[1]) {
        showInventory(obj);
        return "";          // Needs to be '""'
    }
}
