Priority Queue Heap Implementation

I am writing code to implement a priority queue using a bunch. When I queue items with these priorities in this particular order 8 10 4 3 7 6 9 5, I get an error when I start calling them with a function get_front().

The problem is that the statement fails for the function swap_with_parent()in the while-loop function get_front(). The argument somehow grows larger than the number of elements in the array, many_items. I will post all the code if anyone finds a problem, I would appreciate it if you could tell me. I apologize in advance for the lack of comments, I hope it is clear enough that I had.

// INVARIANT for the PriorityQueue Class:
//   1. The member variable many_items is the number of items in the
//      PriorityQueue.
//   2. The items themselves are stored in the member variable heap,
//      which is a partially filled array organized to follow the usual
//      heap storage rules from Chapter 11 of the class notes.
// NOTE: Private helper functions are implemented at the bottom of this
// file along with their precondition/postcondition contracts.

#include <assert.h>    // Provides assert function
#include <iomanip>   // Provides setw
#include <iostream>  // Provides cin, cout
#include <math.h>      // Provides log2
#include "pqueue2.h"
