Hi!

#include <iostream>
 using namespace std;

 void showValues(int intArray[], int size); // Function prototype
 int main()
 {
	 const int ARRAY_SIZE = 30;
	 int collection[ARRAY_SIZE] = { 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 };
	
		 cout << "The array contains the values\n";
	 showValues(collection, ARRAY_SIZE);
	 system("pause>nul");
	 return 0;
	 }


    void showValues(int nums[], int size)
    {
	 for (int index = 0; index < size; index++)
		 cout << nums[index] << " ";
	  cout << endl;
	 
	}
It is passed to the function as a parameter; see line 11. ARRAY_SIZE is being passed in as the second argument.
Ohhh! I see, thank you very much! :D
