Scan and print an array in separate functions? (problem with code)

I'm learning about arrays and functions for a school assignment, so i wrote a test program to check if i understood the theory, but when i print the array the output is wrong.

I just started learning and i honestly have no idea what i'm doing wrong.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>


#define TAMF 2
#define TAMC 3
void scanArray(int array[][]);
void printArray(int array[][]);


int main()
{
    int array[TAMF][TAMC];
    scanArray(array);
    printArray(array);
}


void scanArray(int array[][])
{
    int i,j;
    for(i=0; i<TAMF;i++) {
        for(j=0;j<TAMC;j++){
            printf("Input array[%d][%d]:\n>", i, j);
            scanf("%d", &array[i][j]);
        }
    }
}


void printArray(int array[][])
{
    printf("\n------array------\n");
    int i,j;
    for(i=0; i<TAMF;i++){
        for(j=0;j<TAMC;j++){
            printf("%d\t",array[i][j]);
        }
        printf("\n");
    }
}

For example, if i input:
1 2 3 4 5 6

It outputs:
4 5 6
4 5 6

How does your code even compile? Because It shouldn't. You can't pass a 2D array to a function without telling it its dimensions. All but the leftmost dimension must be passed, like this:

Code:

---

void scanArray(int array[][TAMC]);
void printArray(int array[][TAMC]);

I'm using a mobile app to write and compile code, so maybe that's why? No idea.

Anyways, thank you! I somehow completely forgot about the rules for implicitly typed arrays. I'm still just blindly coding by trial and error, to be honest. Again, thank you for taking the time answer, there's no problem after i fixed that.

Complementing GReaper information, here's a brief explanation on why incomplete arrays must have its "lower" dimensions specified. When you declare a complete array like:

Code:

---

int array[3][4];  // array[dx][dy];

---

The compiler allocates 12 integers (3*4), sequentially. The 'array' identifier "points" to the first element (array[0][0]), and when you use "[]" operator, this calculation will be done:

Code:

---

int x = array[2][3];  // example reading array[2][3];
int *p = (int *)array + 4*2 + 3;
int y = *p;  // same thing

---

Notice the lower dimension is used to place the correct offset as in:

Code:

---

ptr + dy*x + y

---

Where "dy" is the lower dimension... Without the lower dimension, the compiler has no clue about each "line" size...
