Why i cannot write this see the commented below in the following program?

#include <stdio.h> int pass(int*); int print(int*); int main() { int a[5]; pass(a); print(a); return 0; } int pass(int *p) { int i; for (i=0;i<5;i++) scanf("%d",&a[i]); // instead of scanf("%d",p+i); } int print(int *p) { int i; for (i=0;i<5;i++) printf ("%d",a[i]); // instead of printf("%d",*(p+i)); }

'a' has a scope limited to main function. It cannot be accessed inside the pass or print method.

Since you have passed the pointer(p) and not a, the function doesn't recognize what is 'a' , if you want to use 'a' , make the array public instead of declaring in the main() function.

Also, pass() and print() functions doesn't return any value , so change it to void pass(int *); void print (int *); Similarly change in the definition also.
