    Error.

    The random numbers that are created are supposed to go through the selection sort that was given. For some reson I have an error on line 18 and I am unsure why?

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<stdlib.h>
    #define ARRAY 500
    int getRandA(int min, int max);
    void exchangeSmallest(int list[], int first, int last);
    void selectionSort(int list[], int last);
    
    int main(void)
    {
      int i;
      int j;
      int first = 1;
      int last = 500;
    
      for (i = 0; i < ARRAY; i++)
      {
        j = getRandA(1, 1000);
        selectionSort(int list[j], int last);
      }
    
    
      return(0);
    }
    
    int getRandA(int min, int max)
    {
      static int I = 0;
      int rn;
    
      if (I == 0)
      {
        srand(time(NULL));
        I = 1;
      }
    
      rn = (rand() % (max - min +1)+ min);
    
      return(rn);
    }
    
    void selectionSort(int list[], int last)
    {
      int current;
    
      for(current = 0; current < last; current++)
      {
        exchangeSmallest(list, current, last);
      }
      return;
    }
    
    void exchangeSmallest(int list[], int current, int last)
    {
      int walker;
      int smallest;
      int tempData;
    
      smallest = current;
      for(walker = current +1; walker <= last; walker++)
      {
        if (list[walker] < list[smallest])
        {
          smallest = walker;
        }
      }
      tempData = list[current];
      list[current] = list[smallest];
      list[smallest] = tempData;
      return;
    }

    Code:
    selectionSort(int list[j], int last);
    Code:
    exchangeSmallest(list, current, last);
    Do you see a difference in the method used for the function arguments in those two function calls?
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    Code:
    selectionSort(int list[j], int last);
