Need help with returning a pointer.

[JCal1108]

My task was to write a function that dynamically allocates an array of integers. The function should accept an integer argument indicating the number of elements to allocate. The function should return a pointer to the array.

Here is the code I wrote, my pointer returns the starting address of the array but im having trouble getting it to display all the integers. The error says cannot convert int = int* what did I do wrong?

//jc test

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int getElements(int); //Function protoype.

int main()
{
	int *elements; //To point to elements.

	//Get array of the 5 entered numbers.
	elements = getElements(5);

	//Display numbers.
	for (int set = 0; set < 5; set++)
		cout << elements[set] << endl;

	
	
	return 0;
	

}

int getElements(int num)
{
	const int SIZE = 5; //To hold 5 numbers.
	int numbers[SIZE]; //To hold numbers.
	int count; //Counter.
	int *ptr; //To point to numbers.
	

	ptr = new int[SIZE]; //Dynamically Allocated Array.

	//Enter 5 numbers.
	cout << "Enter " << SIZE << " numbers: ";
	for (count = 0; count < SIZE; count++)
	{		
		cin >> numbers[count];
		ptr = &numbers[0];
	}

	return *ptr;
}

int* getElements(int num) { // don't return "int" unless you cast to pointer later
  int *ptr; // this is a pointer to int
  ptr = new int[num]; // it is still a pointer to int, since the new array is of ints
  //Enter 5 numbers.
  std::cout << "Enter " << num << " numbers: ";
  for (int i=0;i<num;++i) {
    std::cin >> ptr[i]; // now we fill the array with ints
  }
  return *ptr; // and this pointer can be used as the array, which has no
               // real name of its own, just a place in heap memory
}
