byte matrix declaration doesnt work

hey,

i like to define some custom chars for my lcd and want to do it in the folllwoing way (that i can interate though the array while writing to the lcd). at the marked position my compiler complains 1st time with the named error.

byte lobster [8][8] = {{
	B10000,
        B11000,
        B01000,     //          <---   error: expected unqualified-id before '[' toke
        B10000,
        B00000,
        B00111,
        B01000,
        B11000
},{        
	B10011,
        ...
        B11111
},{    
        ...
},{    
	B11101,
        ...
        B00000
}};

the 2nd time is:

byte[8] mirror_cc(in_cc byte[8]) {       //          <---   error: expected unqualified-id before '[' toke
  byte out_cc[8];
  for (byte i=0; i<=7; i++) {
    byte out_cc[i]=in_cc[7-i];
  }
  return out_cc;
}

this funktion mirrors the char upside down. at both positions i dont get why its complaining. can you please help me!! thanka a lot :slight_smile:

PS: oh yeah and is that call:

for (byte i=0; i<=7; i++) {
    lcd.createChar(i, lobster[i]);     //      <-- ?
  }

right? i mean handing over a byte array to the lcd.createChar function.

byte[8] mirror_cc(in_cc byte[8])

A function can not return an array.

For arguments, the type (byte) goes FIRST.
