Parameter name omitted error?

Question

I am getting an error when trying to call the method:

int box(int rows, int cols, int [rows][cols])

from the main method using this call:

box(arrayDimensions, arrayDimensions, array);

But i am not sure what the problem is.

Thanks.

What error are you getting? Can you show us a fragment of your code that we could try out? Also, what is `int [rows][cols]`? — January, Oct 18 '12 at 08:54
Perhaps `int box(int rows, int cols, int ARRAY[rows][cols])`? — Joseph Quinsey, Oct 18 '12 at 08:55
@JosephQuinsey I was gonna go with `YourArrayVariableNameGoesHere` but the shout-out seems to do it justice =P — WhozCraig, Oct 18 '12 at 08:58

int box(int rows, int cols, int [rows][cols])

needs to be

int box(int rows, int cols, int something[rows][cols])

Remember, every variable that you use in the function definition/header needs to have an identifier/name. Like anything else, the array you use needs to have an identifier/name, since it is a variable @AkshaiShah modified your code pretty nicely.
