[RESOLVED] Reversing an array using pointers

[asilvester635]

I have this program that makes and populates an array. Then it is sent to a function called reverse, which reverses the order in the array. The compiler keeps giving errors. I'm not quite sure why.


CODE

void reverse(int* array, int size) {

	for (int i = 0; i < size/2; i++) {
		int temp = array[i];
		array[i] = array[size-i];
		array[size-i] = temp;
	} // end of for loop

} // end of reverse 


int main( int argc, char** argv ) {

	int array[8];

	// get and print size of the array
	int size = sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]);
	printf("Size is %d\n", size);

	// populate array
	for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
		array[i] = i;
	} // end of for loop

	// display array before reversing
	for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
		printf("%d ", array[i]);
	} // end of for loop

	// new line
	printf("\n");

	// reverse the array
	reverse(&array, size);

	// display the array again after reversing
	for (int i = 0;i < size; i++) {
		printf("%d ", array[i]);

	} // end of for loop
} // end of main

It keeps giving me this error
main.cc:17:14: error: indirection requires pointer operand ('int' invalid)
int temp = *array[i];

main.cc:18:3: error: indirection requires pointer operand ('int' invalid)

int temp = *array[i];

Have you fixed the errors because this line from the error list is different from the line in the code? The line in the code is

int temp = array[i];

which seems OK. Same for the other errors.

Thanks. I fixed it.
