Does this function return structure pointer

Does this function return structure pointer mypoint ?

#include <stdio.h>

struct student
{
    int x;
    int y;
};


// function prototype
struct student* display(struct student *mypoint);


int main()
{
    struct student mypoint;
    mypoint.x = 1;
    mypoint.y = 2;
    
    display(&mypoint);   // passing struct as an argument
    
    return 0;
}
struct student* display(struct student *mypoint) 
{
  printf("\n Displaying information\n");
  printf("\n x: %d", mypoint->x);
  printf("\n y: %d", mypoint->y);
  
  return mypoint;
}

Yes, display() does return the pointer.

You do not capture the return from display(). Either capture the return value, or better still, declare display() as void.

void display(struct student *mypoint) 
{
  printf("\n Displaying information\n");
  printf("\n x: %d", mypoint->x);
  printf("\n y: %d", mypoint->y);

  // No return needed
}

You should also avoid the same name "mypoint" in main(), and in display(). Too confusing as they are different variables.
