mgm11 (18)
i keep getting an acess violation. it has to do with my parameters, or initialising of parametrers. can anyone get my code to work?

in stead of the code i’ve highlighted above “default” make all the values not present in the cases go to default were were we would have cout<<"I";

One could call this kind of post an access violation.

You need to be much more specific (what, where, when, error message...)

Well, the first access violation you might encounter is here:

1
2
 
    double param1=atoi(argv[1]);
    double param2=atoi(argv[2]);


Unless you always provide at least two command line parameters!

As it stand, running with less than two command line parameters will feel a null pointer to one or other of the atoi() calls.

If running without command line parameters, you need to add logic (using argc) to control your command line handling. I think you might need more logic further down, but I didn't look too closely.

Andy

P.S. "Real" C++ programmers prefer to pass by reference not pointer!

you are right it is the seting of the parameters was where i found the problem, but how do i set them properly to make them logical?

sorry again
