trouble changing 1-D array into 2-D

fg8ty64 (7)
I have a program for finding the grades in a class of 10 students that uses 1-D arrays. My code is posted below. How do I convert it into 2-D array? Below the code, I gave an example of how I tried to do it, but I don't think I'm going about it right. Please help.

                          }
    }
}


For each function, I changed the for loop to a nested for loop. For example, for the function calculateQuizzes, I changed it to:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
float calculateQuizzes (float q[][])
{
   float sum = 0;
   for (int r = 0; r < 10; r++)
      for (int c = 0, c < 5; c++)
      sum += q[r][c];
   return (sum/100) * 10;
}

...and then up in the function declarations above the main, I changed it to "float calculateQuizzes (float[][]);". But there's got to be more to it than that! What else do I need to do?

I don't think you are doing this correctly...I think what you want to do is have an array that contains the Quizes/Finals/Projects/Exams arrays. If you don't add any more arrays, you could just make something (like an enum or const ints) to map the 0, 1, 2, and 3 values, and put the Quizzes etc in their respective areas. Then for your other functions you will have to reference the const ints/enums to access the correct row of the array to get the data out.
