how to return two dimensional char array c++?

Question

i ve created two dimensional array inside a function, i want to return that array, and pass it somewhere to other function..

char *createBoard( ){  
  char          


        

Answer 1

The simple answer to your question is char**.

Having said that, DON'T DO IT ! Your "board" variable won't last outside createBoard().

Use boost::multi_array and pass it as a reference to createBoard() or return it directly (but if you do that, it will be copied).
