Thread: C passing array to function

Hi all,

I want to pass array to function, to fill array with new values and then to print the array in the main. But I have problem because it prints me just array of zeros. Maybe the concept is wrong, I'm new with passing arrays to function. Please help me.


function:

Code:

    void printSum(int *return_array) {

        int return_array[3];
        int i;

        for(i = 0; i < 3 ; i++){
            return_array[i] = 5;
        }

    return;

    }

main:

Code:

void printSum(int *return_array);


    int main {

        int m_return_array[3];
        int i,j;

         for(i= 0 ; i < 3 ; i++){
             m_return_array[i] = 0;
         }

        printfSum(start,m_return_array);

        for(j = 0 ; j < 3 ; j++){

            printf("Array %d\n",m_return_array[i]);
        }
    return 0;

    }

I figured out, deleting int return_array[3]; from the printSum function solved the problem.
