Visual studio error at 0xC00001A5. How do I handle this? - c++

Question

So this is my coding. It is a program for flight seating arrangement and this is just to create a random filled and vacant seating for now. I have looked for other similar problems but I was unlucky:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
#define ROWS 13
#define SEATS 6
void int_seats(char array[][SEATS], int elements);
void seat_map(char seats[ROWS][SEATS]);
int main(void)
{
char section[ROWS][SEATS] = { 0 };
unsigned int i = 0, j = 0, row = 0, seat = 0, seats_available = 0;
string answer;
// Initialize seats with random values of 'X' occupied or '*' available
int_seats(section, ROWS);
// Print a map of the section
seat_map(section);
// Determine the number of seats available
//Sell a seat to customer
}
// Function Initialize array
// Required global value: SEATS
void int_seats(char array[][SEATS], int elements)
{
int i, j;
for (i = 0; 1 < elements; i++) //goes through row
{
for (j = 0; j < SEATS; j++) //goes through the column in each row
{
if (rand() % 2 == 0) // % gives 1 OR 0
array[i][j] = '*'; //empty seats
else
**array[i][j] = 'X';** //occupied seat
}
}
return ;
}
void seat_map(char seats[ROWS][SEATS])
{
unsigned int i, j;
cout << "SEAT MAP" << endl;
cout << "SEAT ";
for (j = 0; j < SEATS; j++)
{
if (j == 3)
cout << " "; //print spaces between aisle
cout << setw(2) << j + 1;
}
cout << endl;
for (i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
{
cout << "ROW ";
cout << setw(2) << i + 1;
for (j = 0; j < SEATS; j++)
{
if (j == 3)
cout << " ";
cout << setw(2) << seats[i][j];
}
cout << endl;
}
return;
}
But when I debug it I get the output
Unhandled exception at 0x2A58582A in lab.exe: 0xC00001A5:
An invalid exception handler routine has been detected (parameters:
0x00000003).
from this part of the code:
void int_seats(char array[][SEATS], int elements)
{
int i, j;
for (i = 0; 1 < elements; i++) //goes through row
{
for (j = 0; j < SEATS; j++) //goes through the column in each row
{
if (rand() % 2 == 0) // % gives 1 OR 0
array[i][j] = '*'; //empty seats
else
array[i][j] = 'X'; //occupied seat
}
}
return ;
}
specifically the error indicates this line:
array[i][j] = 'X'; //occupied seat
I tried to understand it as much as I could but I really have no idea. A little help is much appreciated.
