Functions and Array help
 

I've had a terrible time with this program. I don't really understand it that much, but have been working on it for about 4 hours so far. One of the problems I'm having is that it keeps saying that local function definitions are illegal. Here's the program so far.


Input:
An integer array of ten numbers: 20,17,9,29,19,9,19,20,20,19
Compile-time array with initialization list of numbers.
NOTE: In main() function

Processing:
Function: computeAverage(const int[], const int):int
countLessThan(const int[], const int, const int):int

Output:
Function: display(const int, const int):void
Display as shown in sample output.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;



void main(void)

{

    // constants

    const int SIZE = 10;



    // function prototype(s)

    // return by value is used

    int computeAverage(const int[], const int);

    int countLessThan(const int[], const int, const int);

    void display(const int, const int);



    // local data

    int intAverage = 0;

    int count = 0;



    // data declaration(s) & initialization(s)

    // array data: use data from sample output above

    // TODO: declare & initialize array of ten integers

    int numbers[] = {20,17,9,29,19,9,19,20,20,19};



    // start the program

    cout << "*** start of 276Arrays_Ex02.cpp program ***" << endl;

    cout << endl;



    // Compute & return integer average of the array

    // TODO: call computeAverage()function,

    //  which returns average of numbers

    intAverage = computeAverage(numbers, SIZE);



    // Compute & return count of array values less than integer average

    // TODO: call countLessThan() function,

    //  which returns count of numbers less than the average

    count = countLessThan(numbers, intAverage, SIZE);



    // display the required output

    // TODO: call display function,

    //  passing integer average & count of numbers less than average

    display( intAverage, count);



    // terminate the program

    cout << endl;

    cout << endl;

    cin.get();

    return;

Re: Functions and Array help
 

Because of bad indenting, you can't see that you've actually got this:

// TODO: code the display function

void display(const int num[], const int size)

{



   // display labels and data





// TODO: code the computeAverage function

   int computeAverage(int num[], int size)

   {

The error message says what is true: you can't define a function within another function.
