Questions:

How to pass a array as a parameter into a function properly, allowing one to be able to enter values in an empty array?

Why do I get an error saying no matching function for call 'calcGrossWages'

Answer 1

array[i] is one array element, not the entire array; you're trying to pass int s and double s instead of arrays of them.

Since the arrays' names are hours , payRate , and wages , you call the function like this:

/*Calculate the gross wages*/
calcGrossWages(hours, payRate, wages)

You don't need a loop since the function already handles the entire arrays, and the function doesn't return anything (the result is stored in wages ).

(And as a side note, those variables should be local to main , not global.)

Answer 2

You should pass arrays in calcGrossWages instead of just pass element of array and don't need loop in main for calling calcGrossWages
