double to double error in c++

[dj10fld]

I am getting a (cannot convert double to double in assignment errors) here is a part of my code

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
#define MaxSize 1000

double loancalc (double *months, double *intrat, double *princ, double calcprnc[], double calcpay[], double calcbal[], double calcnew[], double calcInt[]);
double display (double *months, double calcprnc[], double calcpay[], double calcbal[], double calcnew[], double calcInt[]);


main ()
{
double mnths;
double *months;
months = mnths;
double ints = .09;
double *intrat;
intrat = ints;
double prin = 10000;
double *princ;
princ = prin;
double calcprnc[MaxSize], calcpay[MaxSize], calcInt[MaxSize];
double calcbal[MaxSize], calcnew[MaxSize];
int choice;

Read your error messages. They do not say double to double. After that if you go to the line numbers they are pointing to, you should be able to see why the compiler is complaining.

     double mnths; 
     double *months; 
     months = mnths;  
 

*ahem* there they are; but what I find more frightening are those functions taking
an entire sweep of parameters. Shouldn't these parameters be somewhere in a
class object so your function can politely ask for the values, given an object of
that class as a single parameter?

kind regards,
