Thread: Structures, passing array of structures to function

This involves structures. Basically I created an array of structures and I am supposed to pass it onto a function that was given. This is where my problem is (marked /*HERE*/). I think I am passing it onto the function incorrectly. This is the error I get:
warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible types - from 'struct Player [8]' to 'struct Player *'

Im not exactly sure what that means. something to do with passing on a pointer? Could someone help me out? What do I need to pass to the function?

I think I assured myself that I created the array properly by using printf statements.

NOTE: the two functions printBracket and getIndex were given, so they cannot be changed.

Let me know if I need to explain better.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

/*FUNCTION PROTOTYPES*/

void printBracket( struct Player x []);
int getIndex( char c );

int main(){

	//initialize variables
	struct Player{
		char major;
		char name[10];
		int seed;
	};

	struct Player array[8];

        int count=1;
	char person[10];
	char subject;
	int junkChar;

        //Print statement
	printf("Welcome to MARCH MADNESS!\n\nPlease enter the 8 player names, "
	   "followed by their major code and seed.\n\n(For major enter a single "
	   "character from the major code key:\n\n\t"
       "'e' for ECE, 'h' for ChE, 'm' for MIE\n\t"
       "'c' for CEE, 'b' for BME, 'u' for Und )\n");

	while(count<=8){             //while loop to get users inputs
		printf("Enter the number %d seed's name (10 chars max):",count);  //prompt for name
		scanf("%s",&person);

		printf("Enter %s's major code: ",person);//prompt for major 
		scanf("%c",&junkChar);
		scanf("%c",&subject);

		strcpy(array[count-1].name,("%s",person));
		array[count-1].major=subject;
		array[count-1].seed=count;

		count++;  //add 1 to counter

	} //end while

	printBracket(array); /*HERE*/

        return 0; //indicate program ended successfully

} //end function main
