How can I pass this structure into the available functions?

Question

I need help passing a structure through a function to collect and print out its corresponding information. When I try and run the code below the compiler returns that I have too many arguments for the functions.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int num;
void getInput();
void classBank();

struct Record
    {
        string fname, sname;
        int marks, indexNum;
        double average;
    };


int main()
{


    Record student;
    getInput();
    classBank(student);

}


void getInput()
{
    cout<<"How many people are you dealing with: ";
    cin >> num;
}

void classBank(struct student)
{

for(int i = 1; i < num; i++)
    {
       cin >> student[i].fname;
       cin >> student[i].sname;
       cin >> student[i].marks;
       cin >> student[i].indexNum;
       cin >> student[i].average;
    }

}

You've got this function forward-declared with different amount of arguments. — Denis Sheremet, Apr 12 '18 at 10:23
what is the question? Your compiler is correct, you need to fix the code ;) — 463035818_is_not_an_ai, Apr 12 '18 at 10:24

Replace

void getInput();
void classBank();

with

void getInput();
void classBank(Record student);

EDIT: That code won't work 'cause of several reasons:

You declare functions that use struct Record, before declaration of Record
You do not understand what keyword struct means
You pass single element (without overloaded []), not an array to the classBank

EDIT2 Typo

@IsaacAttuah ...because `Record` is not known at the point where the forward declarations are placed, move the declaration of `Record` before the forward declarations – 463035818_is_not_an_ai Apr 12 '18 at 10:29
@Thomas Thanks I fixed the problem.. I first repositioned and reworked the structure `struct Record { string fname[5], sname[5]; int marks[5], indexNum[5]; double average[5]; };` and did what you told me to do. Thanks again! – Isaac Attuah Apr 12 '18 at 10:58
Your edit to [my answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/33856609/3597276) was rejected because it's not correct. `justify-items` and `justify-self` do not apply to flexbox. It's even in the [W3C link you provided](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-align-3/#propdef-justify-self): *"Applies to: block-level boxes, absolutely-positioned boxes, and grid items"*. No "flex items". – Michael Benjamin Apr 24 '18 at 17:40
