Answer 1

You've declared array as containing const doubles. They're constant, so you can't write to them as you are trying to do with cin >> array[index][count];. Just change the parameter declaration to:

double array[][DAYS]

Perhaps you should think about when and why you should declare a variable as const.

As an aside to avoid later confusion, it's worth mentioning here that there's no such thing as array type parameters. The above parameter is actually transformed to:

double (*array)[DAYS]

However, your code is written appropriately to work with this (you passed the number of rows to the function).
