Reverse Pointer function issue - c++

Question

I'm having an issue with the pointer return function. The error, "calling object type 'int* ' is not a function or a function pointer" reverseArray = reverseArray(array,size);.I am not sure why it's giving me this error, this is not my solution I'm using this solution as a guidance to help me solve the problem. Since I've sat for now 2 hours trying to solve it and I got no where with it, so I decide to look it up and get an idea on how to approach the problem. And break down their solution by using a debugger to see why their solution works. I know it's a bad thing to do because I'm not learning how to solve problems on my own.
#include <iostream>
int* reverseArray(int [], int );
int main()
{ const int size =5;
int array[size] = {1,2,3,4,5};
int* reverseArray;
for(int i =0; i < size;i++)
{
std::cout << array[i];
}
reverseArray = reverseArray(array,size);
for(int i =0; i <size;i++)
{
std::cout <<array[i];
}
return 0;
}
int* reverseArray(int array [],int size)
{
int* newArray;
newArray = new int[size];
int j = 0;
for(int k =size-1;k>=0;k--)
{
newArray[j] = array[k];
j++;
}
return newArray;
}

The error is self explanatory.
"calling object type 'int* ' is not a function or a function pointer". In you main() function, you named the array you want to pass as a parameter to your reverseArray() function with the same name as your function (reverseArray). The compiler get confused within that scope, because of this and thinks you're calling a variable as a function.
See below:
#include <iostream>
int* reverseArray(int [], int );
int main()
{ const int size =5;
int array[size] = {1,2,3,4,5};
int* reverseArray; // Change this name to something else
for(int i =0; i < size;i++)
{
std::cout << array[i];
}
reverseArray = reverseArray(array,size);
for(int i =0; i <size;i++)
{
std::cout <<array[i];
}
return 0;
}
Hope it helps :)
