How to pass a vector to a function?

It depends on if you want to pass the vector as a reference or as a pointer (I am disregarding the option of passing it by value as clearly undesirable).

As a reference:

int binarySearch(int first, int last, int search4, vector<int>& random);

vector<int> random(100);
// ...
found = binarySearch(first, last, search4, random);

As a pointer:

int binarySearch(int first, int last, int search4, vector<int>* random);

vector<int> random(100);
// ...
found = binarySearch(first, last, search4, &random);

Inside binarySearch, you will need to use . or -> to access the members of random correspondingly.

Issues with your current code

  1. binarySearch expects a vector<int>*, but you pass in a vector<int> (missing a & before random)
  2. You do not dereference the pointer inside binarySearch before using it (for example, random[mid] should be (*random)[mid]
  3. You are missing using namespace std; after the <include>s
  4. The values you assign to first and last are wrong (should be 0 and 99 instead of random[0] and random[99]
