i have been asked not to dump code and i am not doing that intentionally so i will try it again and only post the error message...I am fairly net to C++ and know that this type of error is something mechanical such as braces but i have checked those and they were ok as far as i could tell. Does anyone know what to look for for this type error as i do not want to "dump code again" for fear of offending the admin of this site. i have managed to resolved all the prior errors myself without any further dumping but can not figure this one out. but again i am very new to this site and apologize in advance and again for my past transgressions.

That means that you are making a call to a function called sortArray, that take a double * const, and an int as a parameter, but you haven't actually written the code for such a function.

[#define]

The compiler is complaining because your function does not have the same parameters as your function.

// your prototype
09	void sortArray(double numScores[], int);


// your function header
47	void sortArray(int numScores[], int size)
{
  // ...
}

I'm not saying don't include your code. Posting your code is often necessary if you're having a problem with it. What I am saying is to not simply dump your code without any description or question. When posting a question, please:
-Post your code
-Post your errors
-Post a clear description of what you are trying to accomplish and your question

I explained this over PM as well, and you are welcome to contact me through PM if you have any further questions. We want to help you; but in order to do that, you have to provide us with the necessary information.
