I keep getting this error:

Here is my code:

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Your convertString function takes a std::string as it's first arg
but you are passing an array of strings. | | | | re: Homework help (Beginner Level)
A couple for you ... look at the forward declaration of the
convertString function, the use of the convertString function within
main and the implementation of convertString ... particularly the
input parameters and their order. I have not looked at the logic of
what you are doing ... so that may still need work.
Enjoy

Look at your prototype. Look at the footprint of this method. Do they
match? Now look at the error message. Quote:

1) Function prototype says, Quote:
// Function prototype
void convertString(string ICAO, string inputString);
first argument is string, (variable name ICAO -- is just for your
understanding.).
second argument is also string.
2) Calling line... Quote:
cout << "\nPhonetic version is: " << convertString( ICAO,
inputString);
first argument is ICAO -- that is string [] -- string array!
So, compiler found prototype of string. But when u are calling
function, compiler got ICAO -- as string [26] (26 strings in array!).

I did get this figured out eventually.
I appreciate everyone's assistance!
Thanks!
