Help with functions and arrays

Hi there I am currently trying to calculate an output based on an array passed into a function.

However I am stuck with how to pass the array into the function. I have the code written in the function to do what is required, however I cannot send in the information required to output. Please help. The c++ file inputs information from a file and is stored into multiple arrays. The code for the program is follows:

Where it is outputting the subject average = ?? is what will be replaced by the call to calculateAverageSubjects(array).

Can someone please tell me where I have gone wrong.
