    Arrays as function parameters

    Hi,
    I'm new to this forum and fairly new to C++ programming. I was working on a program today when I got stuck on something and I'm wondering if someone could help me out.
    Ok, so I'm wondering if it's possible to use a array name as a parameter in a function that I can plug different arrays in (with the same dimensions). These are the basics of how my program went (with unimportant stuff left out):


    void check_flags(int moves[], int flags[], int win_lose);

    int main()
    {
    int winflags[3][7];
    int loseflags[3][7];
    int moves[7];
    int win_lose = 1;
    check_flags(moves, winflags, win_lose);
    int win_lose = 2;
    check_flags(moves, loseflags, win_lose);
    }

    void check_flags(int moves[], int flags[], int win_lose)
    {
    //do some stuff here using flags[] (but have it stand for either winflags[] or loseflags[])
    }


    I hope this explains my problem well enough... In this situation I want to substitute the 2 different arrays (winflags and loseflags) into parameter 2 of the function. I guess I could write two different functions, one for each, but I was wondering if there was a way this could be done.
    Thanks

    void check_flags(int moves[], int flags[], int win_lose);
    should be
    void check_flags(int moves[], int flags[][7], int win_lose);
