Array question

[minuns]

pls help me here.

write a function that sums up the even and odd indexed elements of an array of doubles' separately.
each elements of the array contributes to one of the two sums; depending on whether the index of the elements is even or odd. your function definition should look something like this

sum(a,n,even_index_sum_ptr, odd_index_sum_ptr)
double a[ ], *even_index_sum_ptr, *odd_index_sum_ptr;
int n; /*n is the size of a[ ] * /
{
}

I think it would be better if you started a new thread as the moderators and experts here think that highjacking someone else`s post is a bit rude; and you should post your effort and indicate where and why you are having trouble.
rgds,

I split the posts and moved them to their own thread indeed. Hijacking a thread is not done: start your own thread for your question.

Well, firstly you have to declare and initialize a type double array[] with a series of doubles. Compile the program at this point and print out the contents of the array to prove that so far all is well.Then you have to declare a double type prototype sum() function.
After this you have to define the sum() function by giving its body the ability to sum. What arguements would need to be passed to this sum() function? Well certainly the array.
Write out the seudo code without worrying about getting the syntax correct and when you feel it looks pretty right, type the code and debug it so that it compiles. If you run into problems post your code and identify where you would like assistance.
hope this helps.
