double Ca1[10];
double Ca2[14];
double Ca3[10];
double Ca4[14];

double Ca1[10]={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0};

 
return 0;
}

Hi im new to C++, i've tried creating an array but evrytime i build the solution it replies with this error message (error C2086: 'double Ca1[10]' : redefinition) could anyone offer some help?

Lines 198 and 203. You cannot declare the same variable twice. Try deleting line 198.

Also try formatting your code. With code this large, your inconsistent formatting makes the program almost impossible to follow.
