    maxIndex in an array

    Please help to check and explain the error please.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    using namespace std;
    
    int maxIndex(int a[], int n);
    
    int main()
    {
        const int max_size = 30;
        int list[max_size];
        int n;
        
        
        cout<<"Enter size of array:";
        cin>>n;
    
    //input numbers into array
        
        for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
                cin>>list[i];
        }
        
        cout<<"The largest integer entered was "<< maxIndex(list[], n)<<endl;
    
    system("pause");
    return 0;
    }
    
    
    
    int maxIndex(int a[], int n)
    
    // Pre: n > 0, and the array elements a[0], a[1], ..., a[n-1]
    //      contain integer values.
    
    // Post: returns the index of the first occurrence of the
    //       largest element of a[0..n-1].
    
    {
      int k = 0;
      int i = 1;
      while (i < n)
      {
        if (a[i] > a[k])
           k = i;
        i++;
      }
      return k;
    }
    when i compile the code, the error stated on the red colour.

    Code:
    cout<<"The largest integer entered was "<< maxIndex(list, n)<<endl;
    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
