Answer 1

The whole print line is in trouble...

In C (and other languages) you have to declare your variables before you can use them. So, to declare an array, you need to know what type of data the array will hold (char, int, double, etc.) and how many you'll need. For example, if your array is going to have ten "short" values, you could do the following:

short myArray[10];

This would be done at the beginning of the program just after main() (or prior to main if it's to be a global variable.)

So, once you've declared the array, you need to assign values. (You can do it at the time of declaration too.) If I want to put some numbers in, I could do:

myArray[0]=1;
myArray[1]=33;
myArray[4]=99;

and so on. To print them, you'll want to use cout something like:

cout << "First array element: " << myArray[0] << endl;

If you put all of these pieces together, that should be all you need.

Answer 2

Yes, you should have declared votes as a variable somewhere earlier in your code, something like:
int votes[13];

And how is print() defined, i.e., what's the prototype for your print function?

Answer 3

no give any answer

Answer 4

Show us the declaration for votes please.
