Question

This is code I’ve written for an array that has 14 slots, each should have 4 in it except for the 6th and 13th slot, which are reverted back to 0. However, it doesn’t compile. Does anyone know what I did wrong here?

using namespace std;
#include <iostream>

const int MAX = 14;

int main ()
{
    void printArray ();

    system ("pause");
    return 0;
}

void startArray (int beadArray[MAX])
{
    for(int i=0; i<MAX; i++)
    {
        beadArray[i]=4;
    }
    beadArray[6]=0;
    beadArray[13]=0;
}

//**********************************************//

void printArray ()
{
    startArray (int beadArray[MAX]);
    for(int i=0; i<MAX; i++)
    {
        cout<<i;
    }
}

Some corrected mistakes :

• declare your array outside startArray() function call if you want to use it outsite.
• pass the array as reference if you want to modify it
• cout << beadArray[i] instead of cout << i

.

using namespace std;    
#include <iostream>

const int MAX = 14;

int main ()    
{
    void printArray ();
    system ("pause");
    return 0;
}

void startArray (int &beadArray[MAX])
{
    for(int i=0; i<MAX; i++)
        beadArray[i]=4;
    beadArray[6]=0;
    beadArray[13]=0;
}

//**********************************************//

void printArray ()
{
    int beadArray[MAX];
    startArray (beadArray);

    for(int i=0; i<MAX; i++)
        cout<<beadArray[i];
}
