my full code is (couldn't make it smaller) :

} while (true);
}
the problem is when i call the choice5() function it gets me errors :
*-IntelliSense: no suitable conversion function from "books" to "books
*-IntelliSense: no suitable conversion function from "books" to "books
-error C2664: 'void choice5(books [],books [],int,int)' : cannot convert argument 1 from 'books' to 'books []
i don't know if it's parameters problem or what!!
the choice5(); function call is in the main in the if(choice==5) after submitting books
and i'm like level 1 at c++ so i'm doing my best to make it smaller

Answer 1

i don't know if it's parameters problem or what!!
The compiler tells you exactly what and where the problem is: your call to choice5. The first parameter is an array of books and you're passing in a single book.
choice5(new_book[i], aut[j], books_number, aut_number);
new_book is an array, new_book[i] is a particular book in the array. Same goes for aut.

Answer 2

The function choice5(books new_book[],books aut[], int books_number,int aut_number) must receive as first parameter an array of books or a pointer to a struct books. You will have the same problem with the second parameter "aut". To match with the functioon definiton your call shall have this format :
choice5(new_book, aut, books_number, aut_number)
