	}
	
}
	return numeroReal; >>>> the error is here
}

the error is error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'double [300]' to 'double'
i'm really new to c++ its the 2nd time i use it :S
don't know what im doing wrong plz heeeeeelp

Hello,
You have declared the array "double numeroReal[300]".
The symbol numeroReal is of type "pointer to double".
But your function return value declares a return value of type "double".
One fix is: *double romanoReal(char romano[]) {}.

But you have a bigger problem: numeroReal is local to your function
(i.e. on the stack) and becomes undefined when the function returns.
You must declare numeroReal[] outside of the function, and pass the array
name into the function as a second parameter.

In short, you cannot return a local array, or a pointer to a local array.
The array must exist before calling your function. You must pass the
array name as a parameter - store your data - and just return (no
return value. So you have:
double numeroReal[300];
void romanoReal(char romano[], double numeroReal[] ) {};

cout << "ingrese el primer valor de la suma\n\n";
		cin >> primerRomano; >>>the roman number i recieve
		romanoReal(primerRomano,numeroReal1);>> i take it and execute the method
		cout << numeroReal1; now i want to return the array i entered as a parameter and i added the int.

im running the program and im gettin  a 0012F380
what could it be :S?

Arrays are always passed by reference. There's no need to return it.
Simply put a for loop in your main() that prints out every item of the array.

for(int i = 0; i < 300; i++)
   cout << "Array element " << i << ": " << numeroReal[i] << endl;

Hope this helps.
