Thread: error : declaration of 'float finalArray[9][9]' shadows a parameter

Hi everyboy ! While compiling, i get this error :

error : declaration of 'float finalArray[9][9]' shadows a parameter

I don't understand where does it come from. Here is my code :

Code:

#include <iostream>#include <iomanip>
#include <cstdlib>


using namespace std;




void initArray(float largeArray[6][6]){
    for (int x=0; x < 6; x++){
            for (int y=0; y<6; y++){
                  largeArray[x][y] = 0;
        }
    }




}




float printOutArray(float largeArray[6][6]){
    for (int x = 0; x < 6; x++){




            for (int y = 0; y < 6; y++){
                    cout << largeArray [x] [y]<<'\t';
                }
           cout << endl;
        }
return largeArray[6][6];
}


float tata (int degree_denominator, float largeArray[6][6] )
{
float array_of_coefficients[6];
int c=0;
int l=0;
int x;
for (x=degree_denominator ; x>=0 ; x--){
                                        if (l==2){l=0;c++;}
                               cout << "what is the coefficient linked with degree" << x << "?" << endl;
                               cin >> array_of_coefficients[x];
                               largeArray[l][c] = array_of_coefficients[x];
                               l++;
                              }


 return largeArray[6][6];
}




float toto(float largeArray[6][6], float finalArray[9][9])
{
float finalArray[9][9] = {0};
int line = 0;
int i = 0;
int r = line -2;
int s = line - 1;
int f = i + 1;


for (line = 0; line <= 1 ; line ++){
                 for (i = 0; i<=6; i++){
                                finalArray[line][i] = largeArray[line][i];
                 }
  }


for (line = 2; line <= 9 ; line ++){
        for (i = 0; i<=6; i++){
                                finalArray[line][i] = ((finalArray[line][i]) - ( ( finalArray[s][f] ) * ( (finalArray[r][i])/ (finalArray[s][i])) ) ) ;
                                }
                      }




return finalArray[9][9];
}






float printOutArray2(float finalArray[9][9]){
    for (int x = 0; x <= 9; x++){




            for (int y = 0; y <= 9; y++){

                }
           cout << endl;
        }
return finalArray[9][9];
}




int main()
{
    float finalArray [9][9];
    float largeArray [6][6];
    initArray(largeArray);
    printOutArray(largeArray);
    int degree_denominator;
    cout << "what is the degree of the denominator?" << endl;
    cin >> degree_denominator;
    tata(degree_denominator, largeArray);
    printOutArray(largeArray);
    toto(largeArray,finalArray);
    cout << "final array:" << endl;
    printOutArray2(finalArray);
    system("PAUSE");

Thank you in advance for your help!

Yes, i just want to return each value of the array at n,n

Try commenting out line 63 (line number referenced to the code in the first post).

Yes, but the problem is i think i have to pass finalArray because i use it in my function toto, but contrarily to what you said i want to return each value of the array finalArray in the code coming next, that's why i wanted to return finalArray at the end of my function toto. So how should i do it?
