C++ not sure what I did wrong?

Question

I get this error in passing an array when I call a function:

expected primary-expression before ']' token

Heres the switch statement:

switch(selection) //calls based on selection
{ //calls other functions
case 1: search(list[]);
break;
case 2: add(list[]);
break;
case 3: remove(list[]);
break;
case 4: update(list[]);
break;
//case 5: cout<<"Program Terminated"< // break;
default: cout<<"Make a valid selection 1-5 !!"< }//end switch

Answer 1

Perhaps you need to send list, not list[]. Like this:

case 1: search(list);


Using the [ ] brackets tells C++ you want to reference a specific position in the array, when in reality, you just want to pass the entire array (list).

Answer 2

leve the brackets off all together. they idicate that you are trying to send a sinlge element form the array like list[1].

Answer 3

Hey.. remove the [ ] while passing parameter to the function.
