Hi guys,
I'm trying to call the function memcof here to perform a recursive estimation of parameters to describe the information in data[]. My problem is that I'm not great at using functions, especially when arrays and pointers are involved! For the function above, I want to input an array, data[], two ints, m and n, and I need to retrieve the float values for xms and d and store them in two float arrays. Could anyone give me a few pointers??;)
Ger.

Let's start with two simple rules: You can't nest function definitions, and you can't have two identifiers in the same scope with the same name. So move the definition of memcof outside of main and stop reusing names like data, n, m, xms, and d. Finally, memcof steps on the compiler's namespace. Function names starting with mem followed by a lower case letter are reserved for the standard string library.

Thanks for your quick response Narue! I think I've made those changes now; I just edited the previous post. Is it good to try the fuction call now?

Where I said I want to call the function memcof() in the first post, I meant estimate().
