byte matrix declaration doesnt work

hey,

i define custom chars lcd , want in folllwoing way (that can interate though array while writing lcd). @ marked position compiler complains 1st time named error.

code: [select]

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:

code: [select]

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

this funktion mirrors char upside down. @ both positions dont why complaining. can please me!! thanka lot

ps: oh yeah , call:

code: [select]

for (byte i=0; i<=7; i++) {
    lcd.createchar(i, lobster[i]);     //      <-- ?
  }
right? mean handing on byte array lcd.createchar function.

code: [select]

byte[8] mirror_cc(in_cc byte[8])
a function can not return array.

for arguments, type (byte) goes first.
