"not declared in this scope" errors, why?

[emiller7]

The following program accepts five student names and 4 test scores for each. Then calculates and displays the average and letter grade for each students. Well, that is what it is supposed to do. Judging by the long list of errors I get, it looks like none of my arguments are being successfully passed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which lines is it complaining about?

Also, in general, you cannot/should not do this:

char stuNames[stu][21];
    double stuGrades[stu][num];

The numbers in [ ] need be determined at compile time, or you need to dynamically allocate the array using "new".

[nucleon]

Your declarations should be more like this. Change the definitions to match.

char getStuNames(char [][21], int);
double getStuGrades(char [][21], double [][4], int, int);
void displayGrade(char [][21], double [][4], int, int);

[emiller7]

Your declarations should be more like this. Change the definitions to match.

char getStuNames(char [][21], int);
double getStuGrades(char [][21], double [][4], int, int);
void displayGrade(char [][21], double [][4], int, int);

Okay, now my code looks like:

#include <iostream>

double getStuGrades(char[][21], double[][4], int, int);
void displayGrade(char[][21], double[], int, int);

    char stuNames[stu][21];
    double stuGrades[stu][4];

    getStuNames(stuNames, stu);
    getStuGrades(stuNames, stuGrades, stu, num);

    displayGrade(stuNames, stuGrades, stu, num);

    cout << "\n\n\n\n";

    return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

char getStuNames(char[][21], int);
double getStuGrades(char[][21], double[][4], int, int);
void displayGrade(char[][21], double[], int, int);


int main() {

    const int stu = 5;
    const int num = 4;
    char stuNames[stu][21];
    double stuGrades[stu][4];

    displayGrade(stuNames, stuGrades, stu, num);

    cout << "\n\n\n\n";

    return 0;
}

Red lines need to match each other. stuGrades is a 2-D array, but displayGrades asks for a one dimensional array as its second argument:

void displayGrade(char[][21], double[], int, int);

Perhaps you want this?

void displayGrade(char[][21], double[][4], int, int);
