Can someone explain why i'm getting a segmentation error (core dumped)?

[smokebudda11]

Can someone tell me why I'm getting a segmentation fault (core dumped)? After I compile my code, I'm only able to to input the last cin before I get segmentation fault (core dumped) message.

Thank you.

Note: I did this w/o pointers as I'm doing problems out of my book and have not arrived to pointers yet.

These three functions call themselves forever:

void Inventory::setItemNumber(int iN) { setItemNumber(iN); }
void Inventory::setQuantity(int q) { setQuantity(q); }
void Inventory::setCost(double c) { setCost(c); }

Ahhhhh! Thank you! I tried stepping away and I was still stumped.

I should have had them as such:

itemNumber = iN;
quantity = q;
cost = c;

I was using set methods in the wrong place. Ty again.
