Quick "expected an expression" fix.

[Kman]

Just a simple question. I have this program that's giving me the above error at the end of some of my function calls.

Here's the prototype of the function I'm trying to call:

  void readFromFiletoArrays(ifstream& inf, string names[], double empData[][COLS], int &count);

And here's the function that's trying to call it. It happens right after count&.

void printAllEmployees(const string names[], const double empData[][COLS], const int count)
{
	ifstream inf;
	string name[10];
	double employeeData[ROWS][COLS];
	readFromFiletoArrays(inf, name, employeeData, count&);

	for (int i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
	{
		cout << "Name       Hours     Rate      Weekly Salary" << endl;
		cout << name[i] << empData[i][0] << empData[i][1] << ((empData[i][0] * empData[i][1])) << endl;
	}
}

(ifstream& inf,

int &count)

these are both sent in by reference. So why do you send them in differently?

(inf,

count&);

change it to

readFromFiletoArrays(inf, name, employeeData, count); // removed & from count

I tried that, now it says "qualifiers dropped in binding reference of type "int &" to initializer of type "const int"" about "count". I can't change the function headers either because I need to use those exact ones to get credit.

Well, it wont work without changing it. Because int& count is not the same as const int count so you cant send that in as parameter. Either you're gonna have to change the readFromFile one to const int& count, or without reference.

void readFromFiletoArrays(ifstream& inf, string names[], double empData[][5], int count)

void readFromFiletoArrays(ifstream& inf, string names[], double empData[][5], const int &count)

Okay, how do I do it without reference? Is that one of the two examples you posted?

[TarikNeaj]

The first one is without reference, but without const either. Second one is both with const and reference.

Alright, thanks for the help!
