What's wrong with my code? I tried to run step by step. Nothing wrong when debugging, but at the end (line "return 0;" in main()), the error show up.

This part makes no sense to me

I want to use "+" with many MyString
for example
1
2
3
4
5
 
MyString a,b,c,d;
a.input();
b.input();
c.input();
d=a+b+c;


in the operator overloading +, it must
 
 
return *this;

to enable this ability

I still don't understand what that code is trying to do. Removing it fixes the error.
