how to return an array in c .

Question

unfortunately im having a problem that i need to write a function in C that returns an array but i did'nt study pointers yet , so my question is , is it possible to return an array value without using pointers ?

Answer 1

C programming does not allow to return an entire array as an argument to a function. However, you can return a pointer to an array by specifying the array's name without an index.
