Thread: about pointers and node

Hi,

I have a program as:

Code:

 

Event* remove()
 {
 if(size>0)
 {
 Event* e=nodes[0];
 
for (int j=0; j<size-2;j++)
 
nodes[j]=nodes[j+1];
 
size=size-1;
 
rear=rear-1;
 
if( size==0) rear=-1;
 
return e;
 
}

I have some questions about this small program, when do we actually need to have a return type as pointer with the method remove?

If we have a method as :

Event* e=nodes[0];

Does this mean that we are passing an element or data from the 1st location(0) of the node to the pointer Event?

Regards,
