Passing a char vector as a function parameter.

Armando Jenkins (8)
My problem seems to show up in "Main". I'm having trouble passing a vector of chars as a function parameter called by another function in "Main". "InputArrayFiller" is the function I can't seem to pass to.I admit that my understanding of passing parameters is a bit shoddy. Most of what I've seen online tells me to try passing it as a reference or to use a pointer (something else I'm not familiar with). I've tried it, but to no avail. I think my problem might lie where I first write the function. I just want to be able to use the vector "intake" in "InputArrayFiller". Any and all help/comments are appreciated.

The error code is C2275 and it shows up in line 69.

Hey thanks!
I guess I forgot to give the type when calling the function. It compiles just fine now. Apologies for just slapping an error code up there without the text that comes with it. At least it's better than my last post... (I didn't know how to get the code come out looking like code on the post). I feel dumber and dumber every time I find the answer to my question here.

Thanks Again!
