Returning Arrays/Pointers from a function

Question

I am trying to create a new integer array which is derived from a string of characters. For example :

char x[] = \"12334 23845 32084\";  

int y[] = { 12334,         


        

Answer 1

Typically, you require the caller to pass in the result array.

void splitString( const char string[], int result[], int n) {
    //....
}

This is advantageous because the caller can allocate that memory wherever they want.
