You are trying to use a double when you should be using a string. Also, the error regarding 'name' not being defined is correct. There is no variable called 'name' in the getRainfall() function, only in the main() function.

void getRainfall( string []);
...
void getRainfall( string name[])
{
 ...

See if that works for you.

well the thing is i have an assignment and, the array must be double thats why i wrote double in prototype.
btw it didnt work at all. when i run it, it only says press any key to continue,the loop doesnt work at all.
and also if statement inside the loop doesnt work, can s1 tell me why?
