Error

I'm tryng to set parameters and it doesn't seem to eb workign for array of floats and 3d array of characters...here's some of the program:

init(&n, products[100], unit[100], amount[100], optimal[100])

void init(int *n, char *products[100][MAXLENGTH], char *unit[100][MAXLENGTH], float *amount[100], float *optimal[100])
{
int count, num;
char product[100][MAXLENGTH], units[100][MAXLENGTH];

printf("How many different products at optimal level can fit into your Fridge?\n");
scanf("%d", &num);

printf("Please select your products, their optimal level and");
printf(" their unit.\nie milk x litres, apple x none:\n");
for(count=0;count < num; count ++)
{
scanf("%s %f %s", product, &optimal[count], units);
amount[count] = optimal[count];
strcpy(*products[count],product);
strcpy(*unit[count], units);
}
printf("To begin, we assume that the fridge is fully stocked\n");
*n = num;
}

it doesn't seem to eb workinf\g...can I send arrays as parameters??

Well, you can pass array's as parameters. I assume this code is in your main function? You don't clearly state that in your original post so I can only assume. Anyway, when you pass something you don't have to put the subscript after the name (i.e. products[100]) simply call the function like this.

init( &n, products, unit, amount, optimal );

Hope this helps. Your code may have other errors but this was the main one I saw.

Ok I initially did that, but it came up with that I performed an illegal operation during the init stage...so i'll send the whole thing...If someone can help...that'll be great!

Given

    int count, n;
    char products[100][MAXLENGTH];
    char unit[100][MAXLENGTH];
    float amount[100];
    float used[100];
    float optimal[100];

    init(&n, products, unit, amount, optimal);

The prototype for this function is

void init(int *n, char products[100][MAXLENGTH], char unit[100][MAXLENGTH], float amount[100], float optimal[100]);

And the function is declared
void init(int *n, char products[100][MAXLENGTH], char unit[100][MAXLENGTH], float amount[100], float optimal[100]) {
// your code
}
