C++ Function call help

Oh shite, I'm sorry, I did not realise that I was addressing his majesty, the grand emperor of the golden city himself. Let me change my previous reply to a more appropriate one. What I meant to say was naturally:
I'm going to take a guess here and say that you tried calling the function in a manner such as this:
markupmatrix(arr[3][3]);rather than going and fucking yourself in your own grave. I sincerely hope that this little oversight on my part can be forgiven.
With deepest respect, your loyal subject, COM.
We're not here to satisfy you, you're here to get our help, remember that.
Especially when Google could have answered your question in a few seconds: http://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/arrays/
Anyhow:
#include <iostream>
const int SIZE = 3;
int matrix(int arr[][SIZE])
{
//do something
return 0; //return something
}
int main()
{
int arr[SIZE][SIZE] = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}};
cout << "And the result is... " << matrix(arr) << "!\n";
return 0;
}
Since you didn't really give us much to work with, we have to infer how you are using your function.
Sometimes it's better to provide a more informative snippet with the function definition.
-
Learn the difference between passing by reference and passing by value and you might that the answer given here is exactly the same as what COM said.
-
It's clear you have no idea about addressing, it is pretty key in low level programming as well as C/C++.
You can use as COM said, just the variable name since C/C++ will automatically take the reference:
matrix(arr);
it knows that it's expecting a pointer from the function definition (according to your error).
OR you can explicitly tell to pass the reference to the very first element in the array:
matrix(&arr[0][0]);
Both "notations" are EXACTLY the same in terms of their addresses, since the address of "arr" is exactly the same as the first element/item in the array: arr[0][0]
Hope this clears things up, next time don't just dismiss what someone has said.
Jim,
