Stats Program Runs But Crashes

[Bloodypizza17]

I am trying to write a console stats program for fun that can calculate a chi-square one-way goodness of fit. When prompting for user inputs after a handful of inputs my program crashes and windows tries to find issues. What do I need to change in order for the program not to crash? I have a strange idea that C++ does not like the way that I tried to create an ever expanding array.

 int UserInput()
{
  int StatLength = 0;
  int StatData[StatLength]; 
  int LoopLimit = 0;
  int StatInput;
  int Limit;
  
  while (LoopLimit <1)
  {
     cout << "\nPlease enter a interger for calculation\n";
     cin >> StatInput; 
     cout << "\nYou Entered\n" + StatInput;
     StatData[StatLength] = StatInput; 
     cout << "\nWould You Like To Enter More Data Please Type 1 For Yes Or 2 For No";
     cin >> Limit;
     if (Limit == 1)
     {
         StatLength++;     
              } 
     else 
     {
          LoopLimit++;
          return 0;
          }
   }
}

The issue is line 4. You can't create an array off the stack with a non constant integral. Not only that, but you are also trying to create an array of size 0 which is illegal as well. To fix this give the array a constant size(an integer literal like 10) . However, if you need the array to grow you can use std::vector http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/vector/vector/ and ask us for help with that. Also, from what it seems like, you don't need the condition while(LoopLimit < 1) considering that you exit the function and loop with return 0.
