Can I have an array as an argument for a void function?

    i'm working 17-segment (or in case 16-segment because i'm taking out decimal point make things easier) alphanumeric led displays, , want have code can change array in calling displaystring function , interpret , display on leds.

this code defines function:

code: [select]


void displaystring(int string[]){
  //there functions in here 74hc595 shift
  //registers driving segments well
  clearregisters();
  for(int = 0; < sizeof(string); i++){
    switch(string[i]){
      case 'a':
        //i defined lists named a-z pins of the
        //display should lit according character
        for(int x; x < sizeof(a); x++){
          setregisterpin(a[x] + (i * 16), high);
        }
      case 'b':
        for(int x; x < sizeof(b); x++){
          setregisterpin(b[x] + (i * 16), high);
        }
      //etc...
    }
  }
  writeregisters();
}


and here part call function:

code: [select]


void loop(){
  displaystring ({'a', 'b'});
  delay(10);
}


and when verify program, following
error: expected primary-expression before '{' token

    i've tried different syntax calling it, none of worked, problem lies , it's thing can think of causing error. so, ultimately... know syntax doing this?

nope, cannot pass arrays in c. have create variable. if defined accept char array, pass "ab".
