Returning a string from function

How do I return an string from a function.
VB:

Code:

---

 
void main {
    Char str[];
    str=getstr():
    printf("%s",str);
    } 
 
  getstr() {
      string="I work";
      }

---

You can't return arrays, only pointers to char and pointers to arrays. So your code would look like this:

Code:

---

char *getstr() {
        return "I work";
}

int main {
        char *str;

        str = getstr():
        printf("%s", str);
}

---

You could return an STL string. Those are much easier to work with anyway. You can do that like any other function:

Code:

---

string my_func();

---

oh, and don't use void main.
