Array Parameters? HELP PLEASE!

[fahmankhan75]

Anyone please tell me what is wrong with this code. Watched one of the youtube videos and that how they created the void function using arrays. No, I didn't copy them, but I believe void carinitialize (char carimage[arrayrowsize][arraycolumnsize]) something is wrong with this part of code. Is this not the proper way to have parameters. If not how can I fix this issue? Note: I do want a parameter in there, unless there really is no way. I know I can just not have any parameters, and then initialize all of that, but I don't want to use that approach. and I had the arrowrize and collumsize to 3 by 7. The error is on line 3 bracket in the end, right after equal sign saying expecting a expression?...

  void carinitialize (char carimage[arrayrowsize][arraycolumnsize])
{
	carimage[arrayrowsize][arraycolumnsize]={
													{'-','-','-','-','-','-','-'},
												   {'|',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ','|'},
													{'|',' ',' ',' ',' ',' ','|'}
	};
	
	int row=0;
	int col=0;
	for (row=0;row<2;row++)
	{
		for (col=0;col<3;col++)
		{
			cout<<carimage[row][col];
		
		}
	
	}

}

add a char before carimage [ ][ ]

Shadofiend I did that; however, it says redefinition of formal parameter carimage on sameline :(

You can't define the size of the array in the function definition. Instead, just have the declaration like this:

void carinitialize(char **carimage, int arrayrowsize, int arraycolumnsize) {
    // etc.
}
// or, if you prefer
void carinitialize(char carimage[][], int arrayrowsize, int arraycolumnsize) {
    // etc.
}

Also, you can't initialize carimage like the way you did in line 3, you can only do that when declaring a variable. You'll have to declare it manually, without initializer lists, as far as I know.

Ahhh!! Nice to know that :D I haven't learned about pointers yet, but will keep your second option in handy. I was doing that right now and what I have is that const char carinitialize on the global scope and then from that point onwards I will make a void function to print it out. I'm going to try this method out of yours! Appreciate it !

NT3, I got an error on your second void function without the pointers. I had an error on the second bracket saying an array might not have the elements of this type. I guess I will use another method, but thanks for your help :) especialy the initialization :)
