Return array in a function

Question

I have an array int arr[5] that is passed to a function fillarr(int arr[]):

int fillarr(int arr[])
{
    for(...);
    return arr;
         


        

Answer 1

And why don't "return" the array as a parameter?

fillarr(int source[], size_t dimSource, int dest[], size_t dimDest)
{

    if (dimSource <= dimDest)
    {
        for (size_t i = 0; i < dimSource; i++)
        {   
            //some stuff...
        }
    }
    else 
    {
        //some stuff..
    }
}

or..in a simpler way (but you have to know the dimensions...):

fillarr(int source[], int dest[])
{
    //...
}
