New Driver's License Code

Hi, I made this code using C++ and I tested it on a different app and everything seemed fine. However, running it in the testing environment I get an error that says timeout: the monitored command dumped core. What does this mean? I researched it but I haven't gotten a clear answer as to what I did wrong. #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <sstream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; void split_q_string(vector <string> &q, string &qString){ string s_qString; stringstream split(qString); while (getline(split, s_qString, ' ')){ q.push_back(s_qString); } } void arrVector(vector <string> &q){ sort(q.begin(), q.end()); } void printVector(vector <string> &q){ for(int i=0; i<5; i++){ } } int calcTime(vector <string> &q,int const &a_num,string const &name){ string odd[3]; string even[3]; int counter=0; int j=0; for(int i=0; i<5; i++){ (i%2==0)? even[counter] = q[i] : odd[counter] = q[i]; j++; if(j%2==0){ counter++; } } for(int i=0; i<3; i++){ if(name==even[i]){ return i; } if(name==odd[i]){ return i; } } return -1; } int main(){ string name,p_inQueue; int noAgents, result; getline(cin,name); cin>>noAgents; getline(cin, p_inQueue); vector <string> QueueList; split_q_string(QueueList,p_inQueue); QueueList.push_back(name); arrVector(QueueList); printVector(QueueList); result=calcTime(QueueList,noAgents, name); result *= 20; result += 20; cout<<result; return 0; } P.S I know it's not very efficient right now, but this was my first time doing it as a challenge

While I do not immediately see why it gets a timeout error, I would recommend re-thinking the solution. The code is ambitiously over-designed. It is unnecessary to model the whole operation just to find the answer. Hint: Count how many names are alphabetically in line ahead of you, then calculate the wait time based on that number. There is no need to sort or use data structures.
