'std::out_of_range' error from code - c++

Question

The following error message was received after running my code located at the end of the message:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
what(): vector::_M_range_check: __n (which is 0) >= this->size() (which is 0)
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I'm sorry for the length of the code. It appears that the error is coming from when I am calling the numerov function within the f function. If you are able to determine what the error is would you please let me know? Thank you!

Answer 1

vector<double> w;
for (int i = 0; i < 0; i++)
{
w.push_back(j.at(i));
}
return w.at(0);
w will have nothing in it, since that loop will run 0 times. Thus, w.at(0) will throw the out of range error.

Answer 2

Why do you think the problem is in the numerov function?
I see an error in the function f?
vector<double> w;
vector<double> j = numerov(nx + 1, h, 0.0, 0.001, x);
for (int i = 0; i < 0; i++)
{
w.push_back(j.at(i));
}
return w.at(0);
There is nothing on vector w and you try to access element 0.
