passing argument 1 of âgetGradesFromFileâ makes integer from pointer without a cast - c

Question

I am writing a program to read a file of records, extract some fields into a VLA’s, sort them using insertion sort, search for a user-specified target using binary search, and print out the result.
Bud I keep getting these errors:
search.c: In function âmainâ:

Any help with these errors is appreciated!!

void getGradesFromFile(int size,
char line[],
int studentI_D[],
int test1,
int test2,
int test3,
char grades[]);
size is int type but you are passing "grades.csv" which is a string hence its address will be paased and hence it becomes pointer.
line[] is an array hence a pointer, You are passing size of type int
studentI_D[] is an array of type int. you are passing str of type char and so on....
Your function declaration and definition got 7 parameters but you are passing 8 parameters and hence resulting in error.
You need to check rest yourself. These are silly errors.
