    Question Passing & Returning Strings from Functions



    Hi, I am new to C coding, but familar with a number of other languages. Can anybody, please, provide a simple, clear example of how to:

    1. assign a string in the main() program
    2. pass the string to a function sub()
    3. print the string that has been passed to sub()
    4. return the string to main()
    5. print the returned string in main().

    I have become quite confused about pointers, but I think I need to use them to reference the contents of my array.

    If anybody can help I would be very grateful - Thx
