Exception thrown at 0x7A12FF80 (ucrtbased.dll) in Project 3.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000 - access-violation

Question

I have attempted to run this code. Prior to running this, no warnings or errors exist but once it is executed I have an exception thrown and it stops the program from compiling. Here is my code and the error is in the subject line. The CDA file is being used as header file to create a Circular Dynamic Array that is going to be manipulated in Heaps.cpp. The heaps.cpp is to create a binary heap that is to be used in to create Binomial heaps, but that code has not been developed yet.

Answer 1

In general "Access violation reading location", means you are trying to read virtually memory address space to a process which does not belong to your application and the operating system protective mechanism is kicking in to protect the rest of the loaded applications and resource from been accessed (read or write) by your application "memory leak vulnerability". If I was at your place I would review the code and all variables and arrays if they are properly initialized before use. Another thing which needs to be taken in consideration is the operating system and the permissions required by your application (Windows run as Administrator / GNU/Linux sudo).
