Code with pointers gives out 1 no matter what I tried c++

Question

So I'm doing a code which sums up all elements of field but I have to use pointers:( No matter what I tried I get 1 as output. Tried same code with multiplication but still nothing... Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

float vrat=0;
int suma (int pok2, int vel22){
    for(int z=0; z<vel22; z++){
            vrat+=pok2;
    }
    return vrat;
}

int main()
{
        /// 2. zadatak

    int vel2;
    int *vel22=&vel2;
    cout<<"Unesi broj elemenata koje hoces upisati"<<endl;
    cin>>vel2;

    int polje2[vel2];

    cout<<"Kreni unosit elemente "<<endl;
    for(int z=0; z<vel2; z++){
            cin>>polje2[z];
    }

    int *pok2=&polje2[vel2];
    suma(*pok2, *vel22);

    cout<<"Suma elemenata je "<<suma<<endl;

    return 0;
}

Thank you!

Answer 1

Ah! It looks like at the very end you're printing the function suma rather than the result. Try this instead:

    int result = suma(*pok2, *vel22);

    cout<<"Suma elemenata je "<< result <<endl;

I'm not sure why printing a function results in "1", but printing the actual result should work here.

Answer 2

I think you meant to do something like this

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

float vrat=0;
int suma (int *pok2, int vel22){
    for(int z=0; z<vel22; z++, pok2++){
            vrat+=*pok2;
    }
    return vrat;
}

int main()
{
        /// 2. zadatak

    int vel2;
    int *vel22=&vel2;
    cout<<"Unesi broj elemenata koje hoces upisati"<<endl;
    cin>>vel2;

    int polje2[vel2];

    cout<<"Kreni unosit elemente "<<endl;
    for(int z=0; z<vel2; z++){
            cin>>polje2[z];
    }

    int *pok2= polje2;
    suma(pok2, *vel22);

    cout<<"Suma elemenata je "<< vrat << endl;

    return 0;
}

this line

int *pok2=&polje2[vel2];

attempts to access memory outside of the bounds of polje2. Remember arrays are zero-indexed. Let me know if this isn't what you were intending to do.
