Need help with - cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'int []

[kv0nza]

Hey,
Im new to programming (less than 3 months into a course) and we have a assignment (no im not asking you guys to do it for me ) and iv written the below code but i keep getting this error

C2664: 'input' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'int []'

Sorry if i look like i have made a mess of the code most likely its all wrong but im new to coding and im finding it hard to wrap my hear around.

Thanks in advance kv0nza

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;


int input (int qtyStock[], int stockPrice[], int k)
{
	cin >> qtyStock[6];
	cin >> stockPrice[6];	
}
void heading ()
{
	  cout << "-------------------------------------------------------------------------" << endl;
	  cout << "Stock Item" << setw(15) << "Quantity" << setw(10) << "Unit Price" << setw(15) << "Total Value" << endl;
}
int outputGross(int &gross)
{
}
int computation (int qtyStock[], int stockPrice[], int stockValue[])
{
}
int output (int qtyStock[], int stockPrice[], int stockValue[], int gross, int m)
{
}



int main()
{

	int qtyStock[6] = {0,0,0,0,0,0};
	int stockPrice[6] = {0,0,0,0,0,0};
	int stockValue[6] = {0,0,0,0,0,0};
	int k;
	int gross;

	for (int k = 0; k < 6; k++)
		{
			input(qtyStock[k], stockPrice[k], k);
			gross += computation(qtyStock[k], stockPrice[k], stockValue[k]);
		}

	heading();

	for (int m = 0; m < 6; m++)
		{
			output(qtyStock[m], stockPrice[m], stockValue[m], gross, m);
		}

	outputGross(gross);

	system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Not sure about your specific error since you didn't really say what line it was on but where you are doing this:

	cin >> qtyStock[6];
	cin >> stockPrice[6];

What is it you are trying to do exactly? Because the thing is, these integer arrays are 6 elements in size and are zero based so only 0-5 are valid elements. qtyStock[6] will overwrite some bit of your memory, probably your stack with less than savory results....so you are allocating room for 6 integers and using cin to read....what? 1 element? and which element of the array is it meant for?

Im trying to make a program that asks for 6 elements in the qtyStock array and then do the same for stockPrice array then feed that back into the for loop.

The complaint from the compiler would be occurring in main(), in the first loop.

The line

input(qtyStock[k], stockPrice[k], k);

is trying to pass integral values where an array of integers (or, depending on context, a pointer) is expected.

The use of index 6 inside the function is also a problem as others have mentioned. However that will not cause a compiler error. It may (depending on how input() is called) cause undefined behaviour, often visible in the form of a program crash.
