this is my code... not too sure what im doing wrong but its probably something small. im getting errors too.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;



// void functions
void nameFile(ifstream & infile);
void openfile(ifstream & infile);
void displayScores(int scores);
void getData(ifstream & infile, int scores[], int & size);


int main()
{
// variables
ifstream infile;
int scores, size;
// function calls
nameFile(infile);
openfile(infile);
getData(infile, scores[], size);
displayScores(scores);


return 0;
}



// Functions


// file name function
void nameFile(ifstream & infile)
{
cout << "enter the file name";
cin >> infile;
}



// open file function
void openfile(ifstream & infile)
{
string nameFile;
infile;
infile.open(nameFile.c_str());
}


// check if infile loaded
void infileCheck(ifstream infile)
{
if (infile.fail())
cout << "ERROR: input file failed";
}



// read the scores
void getData(ifstream & infile, int scores[], int & size)
{
int i = 0;
while (infile.eof())
{
infile >> scores;
i++;
}
}



// display the scores
void displayScores(int scores)
{
int i = 0;
ifstream infile;
cout << scores[infile];
}



and heres the errors

Well for one, you try to treat scores as an array of type int, but you declare it as a single int with size. (int scores, size). Guess you might want to pass it as a pointer or reference, but if you declare it as int scores[], you are going to have to give it a size. The displayScores function wants an int, but you try to pass it an array of ints... should probably make it a pointer. In your nameFile function, you receive a reference to an ifstream, and try to shift into it from stdin... you probably want infile to be a string, instead of an ifstream... I guess the question isn't what is wrong, but what is right.
