Passing an Array to a Function

[dwinters]

I don't fully understand why I'm getting this error for passing a 2d array to a function. Here is my code followed by the error. Any help is greatly appreciated.

#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

void carrierLocationSet (int carrier[][4]);

int main()
{
	int carrier [4] [4];
	
	carrierLocationSet (carrier[4][4]);
}

void carrierLocationSet(int carrier[][4])
{
	int direction;

	srand (time(NULL));
	carrier [0][0] = rand() % 14;
	srand (time(NULL)+12);
	carrier [1][0] = rand() % 14;
	srand (time(NULL));
	direction = rand() % 4 + 1;

	for (int iteration = 1; iteration < 4; iteration++)
	{
		carrier [0][iteration] = carrier [0][0];
		carrier [1][iteration] = (carrier [1][iteration-1]) + 1;
	}
}

I'm getting this error:

1>c:\users\casey\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\battleship\battleship\battleship.cpp(13) : error C2664: 'carrierLocationSet' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'int [][4]'
1> Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

I don't understand what that means. Sorry I'm new to programming.

carrier[4][4]

This is an int, not the array (it is also out of range and is thus garbage). To pass the array, you simply use the name (carrier).
