Thread: does not evaluate to a function - anyone know why?

lowestSales(salesTotAry[0], salesPer);// function // call does not evaluate to a function
// The function is:
float lowestSales(float *salesTotAry, int salesPer)

the perameters match up
??

thanks, I tried both suggestions, same results. Must be somewhere else?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

float lowestSales(float *salesTotAry, int salesPer);

int main()
{
int countSales, salesPer;
float indivSalesTotal = 0, salesTotal = 0, lowestSales = 0, highestSales = 0;
;


cout << "Enter the number of salespersons working for the firm: " << endl;
cin >> salesPer;

float *salesTotAry;

if ((salesTotAry = new float) == NULL)
{
cerr << "Out of memory" << endl;
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

for(countSales = 0; countSales < salesPer; countSales++)
{
cout << "Enter the sales totals for each person " << endl;
cin >> salesTotAry[countSales];

if (lowestSales > salesTotAry[countSales])
lowestSales = salesTotAry[countSales];
if (highestSales < salesTotAry[countSales])
highestSales = salesTotAry[countSales];
salesTotal += salesTotAry[countSales];

}

cout << "The total sales is " << salesTotal << endl;
cout << "The average sales is " << salesTotal / countSales << endl;
cout << "The lowest sales is " << lowestSales(salesTotAry, salesPer) << endl; // "does not evaluate to a function"
cout << "The highest sales is " << highestSales << endl;
lowestSales(&salesTotAry[0], salesPer); // debug code resp: "does not evaluate to a function"
delete salesTotAry;

return 0;
}

float lowestSales(float *salesTotAry, int salesPer)
{
int lowest = salesTotAry[0];
for (int count = 1; count < salesPer; count++)
{
if (salesTotAry[count] > salesTotAry[count])
lowest = salesTotAry[count];
}
return lowest;
}

You have used the same identifier for a variable and a function. Also your memory allocation should be -

salesTotAry = new float[salesPer]

otherwise you just allocating space for one float.

Thanks you all for your help. I got the program to work.
