Array help

I'm working on an array program, it's doing what I need it to so far but, I'm having trouble getting it to do two things. I'm not sure how to get it to output Your array is: (numbers entered by user) and how to get it to output the minimum and maximum numbers. This is being done solely using functions/modules per instructor direction. The following is what I have so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void userEntryArray(int numArray[10]);
void printArray(int[10]);
bool checkUserEntry(int entry); 

int main()
{
	//Declaration Block
	int numArray[10];
	int userEntry;

	userEntryArray(numArray);

	printArray(numArray);

	system("pause");

	return 0;
}

void printArray(int numArray[10])
{
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
	{
		cout << numArray[i] << " ";
	}
	cout << endl;
}

void userEntryArray(int numArray[10])
{
	int userEntry = 0;
	
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
	{
		cout << "Enter a number: ";
		cin >> userEntry;

		numArray[i] = userEntry; 
	}
	cout << endl;
}

bool checkUserEntry(int entry)
{
	if (entry > -100 && entry < 1000)
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		return false;
	}
}
I'm not sure how to get it to output Your array is: (numbers entered by user)

Your printArray function does that. The only thing it is missing is:
26
27
  //  After line 26
  cout << "Your array is: ";


and how to get it to output the minimum and maximum numbers.

I would suggest you write two more functions:
find_lowest_number()
find_largest_number()

BTW, you never call checkUserEntry()




I'm not sure on writing the function for finding the largest and smallest, any suggestions? Also not sure where to call checkUserEntry
I did get it printing out, thank you on that by the way.
Bump
changing the return type of checkUserEntry() to void:
