Help with calling functions

I want the main to read both decoder1 and decoder2 functions. Currently it only reads decoder1. I am not sure how to read them both.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

void input(char arrays[])
{
	int ARRAY_SIZE=256;
	cout << "input code 1" << endl;
	cin.getline( arrays, ARRAY_SIZE );
	cout << "input code 2" << endl;
	cin.getline( arrays, ARRAY_SIZE );
}

void decoder1(char paraDecoder1[])
{
	paraDecoder1[0]='H';
	paraDecoder1[1]='o';
	paraDecoder1[2]='w'; 
	paraDecoder1[3]='A';
	paraDecoder1[4]='r';
	paraDecoder1[5]='e';
	paraDecoder1[6]='Y';
	paraDecoder1[7]='o'; 
	paraDecoder1[8]='u';
	paraDecoder1[9]=0;
}

void decoder2(char paraDecoder2[])
{
	char str[]= { 'I', 'A', 'm', 'F', 'i','n','e', '\0' };
	paraDecoder2=str;
}

void output(char elements[])
{
	cout << elements << endl;
}

int main()
{
	char line1[256]; char line2[256];
	input(line1);
	decoder1(line1);
	decoder2(line2);
	output(line1);
	output(line2);
	system("pause");
}

	cout << "input code 2" << endl;
	cin.getline( arrays, ARRAY_SIZE );
Suppose that you are executing the instructions.
¿what will the value of 'arrays' at the end?

¿What's the purpose of decoder1()? As it is, you are overwriting the inputted value.

//void decoder2(char paraDecoder2[])
void decoder2(char *paraDecoder2) //equivalent
{
	char str[]= { 'I', 'A', 'm', 'F', 'i','n','e', '\0' };
	paraDecoder2=str; //changing a local variable
}
¿Does it makes sense to you? ¿what is that supposed to do?
