Add array Problem

[chubbyy.putto]

When I try to add the two array together it show me 0?
`

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int add_arrays(int a[], int b[], int n);

int main ()
{
    int numbers[5]={1,2,3,4,5};
    int numb [5] = {6,7,8,9,10};
    int total= add_arrays(numbers, numb, 5);
    cout << total << endl;
}
int add_arrays(int a[], int b[], int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        n = a[i] + b[i];
    }
    return n;
}

`

n = a[i] + b[i];

replace it with this :

n+=a[i]+b[i]

In your function you need to declare a local variable to hold the sum of the array elements and then return that. You do not want to store the sum in n.

yes, in you function n is not declared . so decalre it.
