calculateSumOfArray(float *table)

[rastkocvetkovic]

What's wrong with my function. It hangs upon usage. Thank you for help!

float calculateSumOfArray(float *table) {
int index;
index = 0;
float sum;
sum = 0;
while ((table+index) != NULL) {
sum = sum + *(table+index);
index++;
}
return sum;
}

The termination condition ((table+index) != NULL) is suspect. The address of the end of an array isn't NULL. One solution is to pass in the size of the array to your function

float calculateSumOfArray(float *table, int entries) {
int index;
float sum;
sum = 0;
for (index = 0; index < entries; index++) {
sum = sum + *(table+index);
}
return sum;
}
