Return an array from a function

[as96]

I know I can't return an array from a function though I can't use pointers.

I need to create a function that create an array and another function that create a second array with the values of the first but inverted.

 

What's the best way to do it? 

 

 

 

 

I forgot to write that the language is C

I can also use more than one function per array (at least i think), but the main need to contain only function calls and the lenght input for the functions

I am not sure I really understand what you are asking, but I will show a few ways of dealing with arrays in functions

//"Returning an array" of 0 to 9int* getIntArray() {    int * res = (int*)malloc(sizeof(int) * 10);    int i;    for(i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {        res[i] = i;    }}//"Returning" an arrayvoid getIntArray2(int res[], int count) {    int i;    for(i = 0; i < count; ++i) {        res[i] = i;    }}//"Returning" an arrayvoid getIntArray3(int* res, int count) {    int i;    for(i = 0; i < count; ++i) {        res[i] = i;    }}int main() {    int myarray[10];    int* myresult;    myresult = getIntArray(); //Notice I need to free it    free(myresult);    getIntArray2(myarray); //Effectively getting the return    getIntArray3(myarray);//Notice they are the same, even though one uses a pointer and the other doesn't    return 0;}
