Question

i have no idea how to get these errors out. i wrote the whole code over and tried to see if it was a problem with brackets but that doesnt help either. i dont know what line it is but i believe it is in this function.

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol “int __cdecl read_file_in_array(int (* const)[3])” (?read_file_in_array@@YAHQAY02H@Z) referenced in function _main
fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

i believe this one has to do with brackets

    #include <fstream>

Answer 1

Your function prototype declares:

int read_file_in_array(int exam[100][3]);

But the function itself is defined as:

int read_file_in_array(double exam[100][3])

Make sure you use the same types in both.
