Return function from function

Question

Hi!
I am having some trouble understanding pointers. I think that
*someptr = value pointer is pointing to / pointer declaration
&somevar = address of value
someptr = address pointer is pointing to.
I'm trying to return a pointer to a function from inside of a function, but it doesn't work. I'll add the code bit here.
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I thought it may have something to do with data types, but how could I fix them?

If it indeed is impossible to declare a function inside another function and return it, then I guess I will have to come up with a different solution.

Answer 2

The code has a problem in the line printf("%i", *func(i));. The function func returns an integer, but the code is trying to dereference it as a pointer. To fix this, remove the asterisk before func(i). The corrected line should be printf("%i", func(i));
