pulling an array from a function

[Cbas]

The function i've made creates an array. How do i access this array in the main area?
Thank you Duoas, now is it possible to pass an array to the function, edit it, and access it later?

If it is a local variable, you can't; it is destroyed when your function returns:

void foo()
{
  int a[ 10 ];
  for (int i = 0; i < sizeof( a ) / sizeof( int ); i++)
    a[ i ] = i;
}

int main()
{
  foo();
  // a[] doesn't exist here
}

If it is a global variable, just use its name:

int a[ 10 ];

void foo()
{
  for (int i = 0; i < sizeof( a ) / sizeof( int ); i++)
    a[ i ] = i;
}

int main()
{
  foo();
  std::cout << a[ 7 ] << std::endl;
}

If it is a heap variable, then you need to pass the address back to the main function:

int *foo()
{
  int *result = new int[ 10 ];
  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    result[ i ] = i;
  return result;
}

int main()
{
  int *a = foo();
  std::cout << a[ 7 ] << std::endl;
}

Hope this helps.
