Thread: arrays and pointers

i have this code

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int solve_array(int * array[][], int array_x, int array_y)
{
    int solutions = 1;
    if((array_x == 1) && (array_y==1))
        return 1;
    int array_1[array_x-1][array_y];
    int array_2[array_x][array_y-1];
    solutions = solve_array(array_1[][],array_x-1,array_y) + solve_array(array_2[][],array_x,array_y-1);
    return solutions;
}



int main()
{
    // problem, find number of routes.
    // solution iterate through each possibility
    int array[21][21];
    cout << "the number of possible paths is: " << solve_array(array[][],21,21);
    return 0;
}

i need to know how to use an array as an argument and not need a specific size, as it is recursive
