Question

Here is my simple code
arrayfunc() should store some numbers in an array, and return the pointer of this array
to main function where the content of the array would be printed
What is the problem with my code?
It only returns the pointer to the first element of the array
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

   #include <iostream>

   using namespace std;

   //The definition of the function should remain the same
   int* arrayfunc()
   {
    int *array[10];
    array[0] =new int;
    array[1] =new int;
    array[2] =new int;
    array[3] =new int;

    *array[0]=10;
    *array[1]=11;
    *array[2]=12;
    *array[3]=13;

    return  *array;

   }

   int main()
   {


    for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
    cout<<*(arrayfunc()+i)<<endl; 

     return 0;
   }

(1) You should allocate your array with new if you want to return it: int* array = new int[10]; [assuming here you want array of ints and not array of int*‘s]

(2) to return the pointer to the first element in the array, use return array and not return *array

(3) your array is array of pointers, and not array of ints.
