    Copy function

    I am struggling at the following task:

    Write a function called copy which takes the following parameters:

    -Two integer arrays
    -The size of the two arrays as an integer
    -A threshold value as an integer

    Your function should copy the values of the first array into the second array but ignore values above the given threshold.

    I always get only 0 0 0 0 0 as output with my function. Does anybody now how I can fix this?


    Code:
    int copy(int* arr1, int* arr2, int length, int d) {
       for (int m=0; m< length;m++){
           
         int min= arr1[m];
         for(  int  i=m+1; i< length; i++){
           if (min>arr1[i]){
               arr1[i]=arr1[i-1];
           }
           else
               min=min;
       }
        arr2[m]  = min;
    }
    for (int n=0; n< length;n++){
        if (arr2[n] > d)
            arr2[n]=0;
        else
            arr2[n]=arr2[n];
    }
    }

    You need to copy the values from arr1 to arr2 only if they are greater than threshold. There is no need to find the min.

    Maybe sth. like this:
    Code:
    for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i)  {
        if (arr1[i] > d)
           // copy arr1[i] over to arr2
