Struct and Arrays, menu driven

spicysalsa (3)
I'm working with structs and arrays, and I was wondering how I could get the function "makeselection" to work, I'm stumped on it, I know it's wrong but I'm looking for a way around it. I'm not sure what parameters to use, or how to access the information in the struct

The assignment is making a resturant menu and printing out a check with tax, it also calls for it to be ran multiple times. I can't delete the functions I have because the assignment requires those. Advice?

In line no. 7, you hav given menulist an int type of variable.
int menulist[8];

But in void data2array(...) you hav used menulist of type menuItem.
I suggest you give menulist of the type menuItem(struct) to make your program work.
In func void makeselection(...) , I suggest you change void to double and do something like this :

double result;
bool order =true; 
int count = 0;
//loop through the code
cin>>count;
result = ( menuItem.menuPrice * count) * tax;
//end loop
return result;
