Why my code is not working? I want to print first five even numbers

Question

#include <stdio.h>
int *get_evens();
int main()
{
int *a;
int k;
a = get_evens ;
for (k=0;k<5;k++)
printf ("%d\n",a[k]);
return 0;
}
int *get_evens (){
static int nums [5];
int k ;
int even=0;
for(k=0;k<5;k++){
nums[k] = even+=2;
}
return (nums);
}

Answer 1

* In main()
a = get_evens(); // function call uses parentheses

Parentheses means function call.

* In get_evens()
You are incrementing <even> inside the for...loop body as you fill up array <nums> elements. As it currently is, the result started from 2 instead of zero. It's fine if it was intentionally though ...

Answer 2

for(int i = 1; i<=5; i++) printf("%d\n", 2*i);
