Question

I have two questions:

1) How can I make an array which points to objects of integers?

int* myName[5];  // is this correct? 

2) If I want to return a pointer to an array, which points to objects (like (1)) how can I do this in a method? ie) I want to impliment the method:

int **getStuff() { // what goes here? return *(myName); // im pretty sure this is not correct } 

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

How can I make an array which points to objects?

int * myName[5]; /* correct */ 

If I want to return a pointer to an array, which points to objects (like (1)) how can I do this in a method?

Technically, you write this function:

int * (* getStuff() )[5] {     return &myName; } 

That returns a pointer to that array. However, you don’t want to do that. You wanted to return a pointer to the first element of the array:

int ** getStuff() {     return myName; /* or return &myName[0]; */ } 

That way, you can now access items as you want like getStuff()[0] = &someInteger;
