    Array as a declaration specifier

    Dear All,
    I want to write a function that returns an array of integers but I have a problem with the function definition
    Code:
     array <int> f(int a, int b, int c)
    {
    .
    .
    }
    How can I define this function?
    Thanks

    Code:
    int *f( int a, int b, int c );
    You can't return an array in C++, so you have to return a pointer to the first element. A vector<> is better if youhave a choice:
    Code:
    vector<int> f( int a, int b, int c );
