void setup_map (int *map); <--- prototype
int row, col; <-- global variables
some main
{
//get number of rows and cols from user
int map[rows][cols]; //create map here because another function uses it
setup_map (map[row][col]);
}
void setup_map (int map[row][col])
{
loop through and set up map
}
my problem is I cant get the prototype quite right I was hoping somewhere could explain to me what my prototype needs to be? I have just begun learning about pointers and understand the concept pretty well just haven't ever used a 2d array as a argument. Thanks for any help.
Correct prototypes include:
void setup_map(int map[ROWS][COLS]);
void setup_map(int map[][COLS]);
void setup_map(int (*map)[COLS]);
And to call it:
setup_map(map);
Note that, however, that the number of rows and columns needs to be a compile-time constant for this to work.
