subscript error in coding

here are the circumstances:
  • i have declared the array and the function at the start of the program.
  • i have declared values for y[i], c, m and x[i]
  • the equation im trying to achieve is the total sum of (y[i]-c-m(x[i]))^2 for each value of i
  • the error in salford plato, in c, says "error 116 - Subscript applied to the wrong type of object"
  • here is the part of the program that matters:
at the declaration point:

CPP / C++ / C Code:
int N, i;

float x[MAX], y[MAX], xsqrd[MAX], txs, sumx, sumx2, D, Exy, Exy2[MAX], Ex, Ey, 
m, c, o2y, o2y3;

void input (float numbers []);
void totxsqrd (float numbers []);
void sumx3 (float numbers []);
void calcD (float numbers []);
void Exy3 (float numbers []);
void Ex2 (float numbers []);
void Ey2 (float numbers []);
void m2 (float numbers []);
void c2 (float numbers []);
void o2y2 (float numbers []);

int main()

{
  float numbers [150];
  input (numbers);
  totxsqrd (numbers);
  sumx3 (numbers);
  calcD (numbers);
  Exy3 (numbers);
  Ex2 (numbers);
   Ey2 (numbers);
      m2 (numbers);
      c2 (numbers);
      o2y2 (numbers);
}

and at the bottom of the program where i am working:

CPP / C++ / C Code:
void o2y2 (float numbers []) /* */
{
  o2y3=((y[i]-c-(m*x[i]))*(y[i]-c-(m*x[i])));
  o2y=0;
  for (i=0; i<=N-1; i++)
  o2y=o2y+o2y3[i];
  printf("\nThe sum of (y-c-mx) all squared is %f\n", o2y);
}

help me, you are cleverer than me!!

Re: subscript error in coding

oh and the error is in the line which says:

"o2y=o2y+o2y3[i];"

o2y3 is not an array....

CPP / C++ / C Code:
float x[MAX], y[MAX], xsqrd[MAX], txs, sumx, sumx2, D, Exy, Exy2[MAX], Ex, Ey, m, c, o2y, o2y3;
Please split your line -- it's too long. Convention is generally around 80 characters but on a forum that value should be shortened some...

No, we are not. Don't underestimate yourself

As Walt noticed, you are referring to an element of the array o2y3 at index i - but o2y3 is float and not an array of any type.
Another thing I noticed is that you declared main as int but never return anything. I think it would be better to return the value you promised to return .

Explain your function's purpose, and supply complete code.

Re: subscript error in coding

Hi warborules,

In this line:
CPP / C++ / C Code:
o2y3=((y[i]-c-(m*x[i]))*(y[i]-c-(m*x[i])));  /* what is the purpose ?? */
  o2y=0;

for (i=0; i<=N-1; i++)
  o2y=o2y+o2y3[i];         /* o2y3 is not an array. that line should be here... */

  printf("\nThe sum of (y-c-mx) all squared is %f\n", o2y);

The line in which you are calculating o2y3 should come inside the for loop.
For example, like this:
CPP / C++ / C Code:
  for (i=0; i<=N-1; i++)
  {
    o2y3=( ( (y[i]-c- (m*x[i]) ) * ( (y[i]-c- (m*x[i]) ) );
    o2y=o2y+o2y3;
  }

Regards,
Paramesh.
