help me~~~

what's wrong with it?!

If it doesn't compile, providing the errors would really help because i don't feel like testing the code myself.

i put //**error**// next to the 'errors'

Try removing the [] at the data[] so just data

When you are passing an array, you only use the name of the array, you do not use the braces. If you use braces, the compiler thinks you are trying to pass a specific element.

This causes 2 errors:
1. you haven't identified the specific element you want
2. you are no longer passing an array, you're passing a single value
