Returning a pointer from a function

[massivefermion]

Hi
Could you explain a little about the topic?
thanks

[massivefermion]

And one more question.
How can i gain some information about ANSI/ISO c++ standard and the compilers that support it?
thanks again

Hi
but what's your problem?..

And one more question.
How can i gain some information about ANSI/ISO c++ standard and the compilers that support it?

Do it as usually: search Google ;)

From http://home.att.net/~jackklein/c/standards.html:

Warning! What C and C++ standards are not!
The actual ANSI/ISO/IEC standards documents are not tutorial in nature or easy to read. They contain very dense and detailed technical information. They are not recommended as a guide for learning to program in the languages, or for beginners in general.

Compilers: it depends on your platform.

You can of course return pointer to any object via function.
The syntax is pretty much intuitive:

returnType* myFunc(argType1 arg1, argTyp2 arg2.......)
//example
int* someFunct(int a, int b){}
char* someFunct(char* A, int Len)

Now, stand up dude, do some Google search and you will find much more than this.

By googling it. What info do you want. The complete standard? It is not free though. http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/big-picture.html#faq-6.13

To ArkM:
I know i must write sth like this in the prototype:

int *func()

but i don't know what should write after the return command.I tried return *s,&s,s but all of them ware wrong.
To siddhant3s:
I wanna program in standard c++ so i must know what should i do for that.
for example which headers must not have .h extension in the #include statement .
and a little part of reason is that i'm a little curios about it.
thanks again

What's this s - that is a question ;)

Come on man,I considered c++ programmers smarter.
its just an example of a pointer.

They're also smart, but if you aren't giving any detailed information about your problem we can only guess about it ...

If you do a quick google search you can find it within exactly 2 seconds, so try doing this before you post ...

>Come on man,I considered c++ programmers smarter.
In my experience C++ programmers are just like everyone else: the majority are slightly below average, a smaller number are average or just above, there are enough retards to frighten you, and a handful are truly brilliant.

By the way, you're not that bright yourself if you think that we're mind readers.

>i don't know what should write after the return command.
You return a matching type:

int *function()
{
  int *p;

  // ...

  return p;
}

>I wanna program in standard c++ so i must know what should i do for that.
Best of luck. You'll need a copy of the standard and plenty of time on your hands. Alternatively you could simply buy a book like Accelerated C++ and learn C++ correctly from the start. That will get you going on the correct path.

>which headers must not have .h extension in the #include statement
All of them. The correct headers specific to C++ have no .h extension and the correct headers inherited from C replace the .h extension with a c prefix (eg. <string.h> becomes <cstring>). You shouldn't be using the .h versions of the inherited headers. They're only supported for compatibility.
