windows 8.1 visual studio c++ opengl exception 0xC0000005: access violation while using the path 0x00000000

I am a beginner openGL programmer, learning openGL from a TouTube tutorial. I did exactly the same steps as the tutorial stated. I get this exception:

Unhandled exception in 0x7732F949 in OpenGL.exe: 0xC0000005: access violation while using the path 0x00000000. here's the code:
