Pass vector to a function

I'm reading how to use STL in C++. And I have read one code:

Code:

---

void functionX(vector<int>&a){
......
//some line of code
}
int main(){
    vector<int> b(10);
    functionX(b);
    int c[10];
    functionX(c); //error
    return(0);
}

---

the above code mean functionX will use vector<a> to doing something (and it will not copy another vector-->efficiently purpose) But if I use for array c will meet error. So, my question is: the declare of functionX is especially design just for "vector"?

thanks :)

Yes.

Oh, I'm sorry so much, my question isn't clearer and... seem to be very stupid (because functionX just only and only for vector, of course!!!). But, now, I have answer this question by myself: this type of declare just use for container in STL of C++.

Code:

---

void X(stack<int>&Q){
//some lines of code;
}
voidY(set<int>&A){
//some lines of code
}


//BUT CANNOT USE FOR ARRAY:
voidZ(int &A[10]){
//some line of code;
}

Indeed, you cannot have an array of references to int. What are you trying to do?

An array of int also cannot be implicitly converted to a vector<int>. So c (and array of 10 int) cannot be passed directly to functionX(), which expects a vector<int>.
