Issue with User Input

When this section of code runs, when I enter an integer for the Number of Grades to be dropped it crashes.

void Course::enterGCInfo(int num)
{
GradeCat tempGC;
string tempStr = "";
cout << "Enter Grade Category Name: ";
cin >> tempStr;
tempGC.setGCName(tempStr);
double tempDbl = 0.0;
cout << "Enter Grade Percentage: ";
cin >> tempDbl;
tempGC.setGCPerc(tempDbl);
int tempInt = 0;
cout << "Enter Number of Grades To Drop: ";
cin >> tempInt;
tempGC.setNumToDrop(tempInt);
setGradeCat(num,tempGC);
refresh();
}

Sorry here is the error I get from Visual Studio:

Unhandled exception at 0x004149eb in Grade Tracker.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x3343f1c8.

refresh();

What is this?

[kayakinack]

void Semester::refresh()
{
calcTotalCredHrs();
calcGPA();
sortCourses();
}

If you want to solve that problem quickly then do the following:

in your visual studio hit F11,
repeat pressing F11 until program chrashes
A small yellow arrow will guide you through that simple process.
keep an eye on that arrow it will show you exactly where the error is.

Hint:
if you think it's to slow then hit F10
F10 will be skipping blocks of code :D

codekiddy not sure how that is supposed to work but all it did was bring me to some header file with code I couldn't even attempt to understand and move back and forth between a few spots in that file for a good 50 F11s or so.

Doh! such an easy mistake, like they always are. The value I was passing to the function wasn't probably initialized so it was trying to put the information into some trash slot in my array.

Thanks for your attempts to help.
