this function has to run twice. and the "count" variable needs to be "2" on the second run. How can i do that? The parameters can not change as well

void printArray(const int *array, int n)
{
   int count = 1;
   char check;
   if (check == 'k')
   {
       count++;
   }
   cout << "Value " << count << " array contents." << endl;
   cout << "------------------------" << endl;
   for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
   {
      
       cout << i + 1 << ": " << array[i] << endl;
      
   }
   cout << "------------------------" << endl;
   check = 'k';
  
}

void printArray(const int *array, int n)
{
   static int count = 1;
   count++;
   cout << "Value " << count << " array contents." << endl;
   cout << "------------------------" << endl;
   for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
   {
      
       cout << i + 1 << ": " << array[i] << endl;
      
   }
   cout << "------------------------" << endl;
}

static variables persists its values during function calls. 
So, make the variable count s static
