URGENT- PLEASE HELP!!!reaching array from other function

[enemy]

Helllo!


I have quite a big problem!
I have to make an array in one function (NOT MAIN!!!) that does not return the array, but just the average value of its elements to main.

Then, I have to use elements from the same array to calculate other values form them (can also be in main).


Is that possible at all?

How can I reach array from function f (not main) if the function f is not returning array?


Many thanks!!!

just pass the array to your function ie:

#include <stdio.h>

double CalculateAverage(int DataSet[], int ArraySize)
{
    int Average = 0;

    for(int Counter = 0; Counter++ < ArraySize;)
        Average += DataSet[Counter];

    return Average / ArraySize;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int DataSet[10] = {0};
    int Counter = 0;

    while(Counter++ < 10)
    {
        printf("Enter Number %d: ", Counter);
        scanf("%d", DataSet[Counter]);
    }

    printf("Average: %f\n", CalculateAverage(DataSet, 10));
}

put that into a function

int main()
{
	int sum = 0;
	int average = 0;
	int array[10] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
	for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
		sum+=array[i];
	average = sum/10;
	cout<<"Average:"<<average;
}

he made it quite clear that it cant be in main and i did put it in a function

oh haha thats my bad im kinda drunk i meant to take out the int main and just put the body into a function but i was actually talking to enemy

Hello!
What is happening with DataSet[10] in main?

I ment, I have array declared and INITIALISED in function, then I want to translate the whole (full!) aray into main, with all the elemnts values, like in function...

or at least, to call elemets from array in function in main...


I can do the opposite (call elements from main-array in the function.

Any help?


Please, am the ABSOLUTE beginner, I appologise

many thanks!

declare the array global(i know that it is a really bad idea but situation demands it....).

Y, u are right, not best idea but practical if it goes.

Maybe some examples, as simple as possible?

Many thanks!
