#156417 - Compile error using a bubble sort
I believe this should work, but I'm not sure what parameters I'm supposed to pass considering the array is already initialized. I'm getting a compile error of :

IO.C(378): error C214: illegal pointer conversion

which makes sense, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to pass. I can't find much info on how to pass the data parameters to the sort routine. What am I missing?
void bubbleSort(int my_array[], int array_size); //prototype

uchar my_array[5] = {9,4,2,8,3}; //my array initialized out of order

void bubbleSort(int my_array[], int array_size) //sort it
{
  int i, j, temp;

  for (i = (array_size - 1); i >= 0; i--)
  {
    for (j = 1; j <= i; j++)
    {
      if (my_array[j-1] > my_array[j])
      {
        temp = my_array[j-1];
        my_array[j-1] = my_array[j];
        my_array[j] = temp;
      }
    }
  }
}

void main (void)//main program
{
										  
while(1)//Loop this section forever
   {    
    	
    bubbleSort(zoom_array[], 5); //sort forever test
	 
	
   }
}

   Is the array 'uchar' or is it 'int'? Do not mix.            01/01/70 00:00      
   argument consistency            01/01/70 00:00      
      I had one error and type mismatch seen            01/01/70 00:00      
         more careful with decrement unsigned char            01/01/70 00:00      
         Use different identifiers for global and auto            01/01/70 00:00      
            Yes I saw the corruption...            01/01/70 00:00      
               You can use any type you like.            01/01/70 00:00
