2D Array Float - Int- Float Pointers Problem

[bennetk2]

I am having problem with converting and initializing errors. Any help is appreciated. I am a 2 yr Computer Science major, so be gentle.

Here is Code: Sorry its long!

Please any help would be very appreciative.

This int zero(float); has to match this int zero(float a[9][13]) . Same goes for the rest.

[ret801]

I would think you shouldn't declare your variables like you did[ float zero(float);].And why are you declaring them like variables when they are methods?
Ima newb programming only a year of experience but I've never seen it done like that.

I am not sure what you mean by that... what would I change?

those are prototypes, so compiler knows that there is a function somewhere in the code that is associated with that line.

Technically, they are functions. "Methods" are functions specifically bound to a class instance (or class itself, if declared as "static"). And the original poster is not "declaring them like variables", he's providing prototype declarations for the functions, which are then implemented farther down in the code.

The previous responder provided the first steps however: the prototype declaration must match the implementation, e.g.

int zero(float[9][13]);
