Undefined reference error for one function

Xcalibre (5)
Hi, I'm new and I've hit a wall. I have compiled and linked it but the error says: undefined reference to `out(int, std::string, std::string)'
error line: in Main.cpp --> out(val[n],fn[n],ln[n]);

Why is it that only the function void out(..) is undefined when it's in the same header as the other functions?

void out(int, string, string);
void out(int val[9], string fn[9], string ln[9])

This is two different functions because the parameter types are different.

Okay. But what's the difference between int val and int val[n]?

int val is an integer.
int val[n] is an array of n integers.

Oh. I see now. I don't know how to use arrays yet. I only used a friend's code as guide.
I'm gonna read about it first.
Thanks for the help!
