Thread: error: ‘numberOfElements’ undeclared

Hi this is one of my questions i have been given to do but i cant get it to compile please help!
question was :
Write a function called arraysum that takes two arguments: an integer array and the number of elements in the array. Have the function return as its result the sum of the elements in the array.

My attempt:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>






int arraysum (int array[], int numberOfElements)

{	
	
 int i, sum=0;
	 

	
	

  for (i =0; i <numberOfElements; ++i)



  sum = sum + array[i];

	

 return sum;

}
	
	
int main (void)

{


	int array1[5] = {15,28,37,26,10};
	
        numberOfElements = 5;  
	
        int i, sum =0;

	int arraysum (int array[],int numberOfElements);


	
	

printf("The sum is %d\n", arraysum(array1,numberOfElements));


	
return 0;

}

What's this ... int arraysum (int array[],int numberOfElements); ... doing in main?

Just lose it.

Please post the complete error message exactly as it appears.

prog8.11.c: In function ‘main’:
prog8.11.c:27: error: ‘numberOfElements’ undeclared (first use in this function)
prog8.11.c:27: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
prog8.11.c:27: error: for each function it appears in.)

prog8.11.c:27: error: ‘numberOfElements’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Look at line 27

Code:

numberOfElements = 5;

Where have you told the compiler what kind of variable this is? Is it a double, an int, a char?
