Error C2100: Illegal Indirection

Kauto (22)
After a lot of research I found out some things that I would like to verify and use in my homework. When passing a 2D array to a function as pointer, it is treated as a 1D, so hypothetically on the same line, is that right to say?
So if I want to find the address of a cell (int) I just add +4n?
And now for my homework:

I have to create a program which has 3 functions, one to create and fill an array at random, one to print it on the screen, and one to sort it. Im only having about 2 errors that I cant seem to know how to fix Error 2 error C2100: illegal indirection c:\users\pc\desktop\usb\anthony\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\finalll\finalll\finalll.cpp 55
 and related to it Error 3 error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value c:\users\pc\desktop\usb\anthony\documents\visual studio 2012\projects\finalll\finalll\finalll.cpp 55
 and 4 IntelliSense: operand of '*' must be a pointer c:\Users\pc\Desktop\USB\Anthony\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Finalll\Finalll\Finalll.cpp 55
.
Im pretty sure that the sorting technique is correct as its the same as the one in my course, but Im not too sure about the usage of the pointers.

Sorry if my english is not too good, it's not my main language
Thank you

Your prototypes don't match your definitions:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
void FillingRandomly(int (*)[AS]);   // lines 11-12... these are correct
void printing(int (*)[AS]);


void FillingRandomly(int *ArrayPtr)  // line 51 .. this doesn't match -- it's wrong

void printing(int *Array) // line 60 .. also doesn't match

void FillingRandomly(int (*)[AS]); //declaration line 11
void FillingRandomly(int *ArrayPtr) //definition line 51
they do not refer to the same function.


About the error
*(*(ArrayPtr +i)+j)=rand()%56+2;
`ArrayPtr' is a pointer to an int, so `ArrayPtr[i]' is an int
It does not make sense to say `42[13]'

Any idea how to fix this?

Have your definitions match your prototype:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
 
// These are your prototypes.  They are correct
void FillingRandomly(int (*)[AS]);
void printing(int (*)[AS]);


// These are your definitions, they are wrong
void FillingRandomly(int *ArrayPtr)
void printing(int *Array)


// change them to match your prototypes:
void FillingRandomly( int (*ArrayPtr)[AS] )
void printing( int (*Array)[AS] )
