cant pring my array in reverse order

[beeholtz]

as you can probably tell im almost lost as hell, i need to print an array in reverse order... the very last function i have is what im trying to use to do this, but its not working... help me please! thank you in advance

// Practice with arrays for lab

Well, look at that for-loop:

 for (looper =0;looper <size;looper--)
            cout   <<  setw(5) <<anArray [looper] <<endl;

The first time around, that will simplify to:
cout << anArray[0] << endl;
Then, the next iteration will be:
cout << anArray[-1] << endl;

The first one prints the first element and the second one is clearly an error. What you want to do is start looper as the last element of the array, which is equal to size-1, so the for-loop should turn into:
for(looper=size-1;looper>=0;looper--)

As well, most people use int i; instead of looper. It's just easier to write. cout << anArray[i]; Much easier, see?

[D80DSL3A]

Your for statement on line 98 is set up to start at the wrong value. Since you're going backwards you want to start at the end of the array (index = size-1 ) and go to the beginning (index=0).
Try this instead:for (looper =size-1;looper >=0;looper--)

EDIT: I see wasabi beat me to it (and explained it more fully).

Also, your

void printBackwards ( int alpha_List, int beta_List ) { ... }

function definition doesn't match your

void printBackwards (const int anArray [], int size);

function header, and it follows that the anArray and size variables in your function definition have not been initialized yet.
