How to an array to a function

[Dheeraj Joshi]

Then array name and the parameter passed to the function can not be same.
It should be like.

int determinePage(int virtual_addr_i) // Note the name of the variable is not same as array name
{
   //Some stuff goes here
}

And function call must be like

for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
    cout <<determinePage(virtual_addr[i])<< endl;
}

The array name and the function argument name can certainly be the same since they are in sifferent scopes.

However, the array name is a pointer to element 0. Therefore, the function argument has to be an int* and not an int.

Hi i have an array

static int virtual_addr[10]=
{8196,34893,38583,22883,61843,43532,333,8448,2334,9492};

that i am trying to pass to a function

int determinePage(int virtual_addr){
  int page_num;
  int page_size = 4096;

  page_num = floor(virtual_addr/page_size);
   return page_num;
}

however I am getting errors.Any help would be appreciated

int determinePage(i nt virtual_addr){
int page_num;
int page_size = 4096;

page_num = floor(virtual_a ddr/page_size);
return page_num;
}


your page_num = floor(virtual_a ddr/page_size)
is setting page_num = floor(array with 10 values divided by page_size);
you can't use an array like this, you have to pick a value from the array, or make a loop to use every value from the array.

int determinePage(int virtual_addr[]) //<-- the [] MUST be in there
{
  int page_num;
  int page_size = 4096;
 
  page_num = floor(virtual_addr[0]/page_size); // must choose one value from the array to use or it has ten values and can't use them all like this.
   return page_num; 
}

the function named floor(.......) used is not identified by c++ complier or is it user defined function?

IF you dont use the function floor(...) in your code then I made simple solution may it will help you. Thanks
#include<iostre am>
using namespace std;
int determinePage(i nt);


int main()
{
int page_number;
static int virtual_addr[10]=
{8196,34893,385 83,22883,61843, 43532,333,8448, 2334,9492};

cout << "Page Number is: " <<endl;
for (int i=0; i<10; i++)
{
page_number = determinePage(v irtual_addr[i]);
cout <<page_number << endl;
}

system("pause") ;
return 0;
}

int determinePage(i nt virtual_addr)
{
int page_num;
int page_size = 4096;
page_num = virtual_addr/page_size;
return page_num;
}



out put:
Page Number is:
2
8
9
5
15
10
0
2
0
2
