Total function!!!

[Wolf]

Hi,

How can I write a separate function that sums up all the values of the cells of the array that I inserted it below and then show the total in the main function.

#include <iostream>
#define height 2
#define width 3
using namespace std;


int x,y;

int main ()
{
int eidan[height][width];


for (x=0;x<height;x++)
		for (y=0;y<width;y++)
		{
		cout <<"Enter the value\n";
		cin >> eidan[x][y];
		cout << "\n\n";
		
		}
		
return 0;
}

Here's an example:

#include <iostream>
#define height 2
#define width 3
using namespace std;


int x,y;

int main ()
{
int eidan[height][width];


for (x=0;x<height;x++)
		for (y=0;y<width;y++)
		{
		cout <<"Enter the value\n";
		cin >> eidan[x][y];
		cout << "\n\n";
		
		}
		
int accumulator=0;
for (x=0;x<height;x++)
		for (y=0;y<width;y++)
		{
		accumulator = accumulator+eidan[x][y];
        }
        cout<<accumulator<<"/n";
system ("pause");
return 0;
}

that's fine.. but how can I calculate the total in a separate function not in the main function and then show the total in the main.

thanks

This should work:

#include <iostream>
#define height 2
#define width 3
using namespace std;


int x,y;

int sum_array(int eidan[height][width])
{
    int accumulator = 0;
    for (x=0;x<height;x++)
		for (y=0;y<width;y++)
		{
            accumulator += eidan[x][y];
        }
        return accumulator;
}
            

int main ()
{
int eidan[height][width];


for (x=0;x<height;x++)
		for (y=0;y<width;y++)
		{
		cout <<"Enter the value\n";
		cin >> eidan[x][y];
		cout << "\n\n";
		
		}
		int array_value = sum_array(eidan);
        cout << array_value << "\n";

system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
