I have a two part assignment. Part one is to create a menu driven program using variables to do certain tasks. Part two is to convert the variables being used into 2 arrays. The code for part one is post below and works perfectly for everything that is required. My problem is I do not have the slightest clue about how to change all my variables being used into arrays and getting the program to even compile let alone run successfully. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Which variables are you supposed to turn into arrays? What do the two arrays represent?

I believe all the variables are suppose to be turned into just two arrays. So the two arrays are suppose to hold the users inputs for each function.

So each function gets passed two arrays? That doesn't sound right for a function like getDifference, which is subtracting one integer from another. Are you sure you aren't supposed to have ONE array and have the SIZE of the array be 2 elements, as in this?

int getDifference (int x[])
{
     int difference = x[0] - x[1];
     return difference;
}

No it is suppose to be two separate arrays so and example of getDifference would be something like this for user inputs such as: 5700 - 600 = 5100

int Array1[] = { 5 7 0 0 }
int Array2[] = { 0 6 0  0 }

int difference = { 5 1 0 0 }

Well I suppose how you proceed will depend on what you are familiar with already. Are you familiar with pointers and how to dynamically allocate arrays? If you don't want to dynamically allocate the arrays, you can decide on a maximum number of digits ahead of time and allocate your arrays to that constant size in the beginning. Do you need 2 arrays or 3? For example, where are you going to store the answer in getDifference? In a third array or are you supposed to overwrite one of the two you have? And do you want your arrays to return a value or are you planning on having the answer be one of the parameters passed to the function, which the function will then change?

The teacher just added that we are suppose to use const int MAXARRAY = 1000 for the arrays. To answer your other questions. I will be using 3 arrays with 2 of the arrays being passed into the function and then the third array being created inside the function and being returned back to the calling program.

You can't return an array. You can return a pointer to an array.

You say that you are creating the array inside the function, then returning that array. Again, what you'll be returning is a pointer to the array that is created. It seems to me that you'll need to create that new array in the function dynamically with the "new" command. Otherwise you may run into "out of scope" problems.

This sample program may give some ideas on how to create and pass the arrays. It doesn't do any calculations and there are other things you'll need to deal with to make it work for your application. Is this what you had in mind?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int*  funcD (int a[], int b[]);

int main ()
{
    int a[1000];
    int b[1000];
    int* c;
    
    c = funcD (a, b);
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
         cout << c[i];
         
    cout << endl;
    return 0;
}
    
    
    
int* funcD (int a[], int b[])
{
       int* c  = new int[1000];
       for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
            c[i] = i;
            
       return c;
}

Yes, that is what i had in mind about what I would like to do with the arrays that I will be creating.
