************************************************************************
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
// function to generate and retrun random numbers.
int * getRandom( )
{
static int r[10];
// set the seed
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );
for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
{
r[i] = rand();
cout << r[i] << endl;
}
return r;
}
// main function to call above defined function.
int main ()
{
// a pointer to an int.
int *p;
p = getRandom();
for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
{
cout << "*(p + " << i << ") : ";
cout << *(p + i) << endl;
}
return 0;
}

Can I change the bold-faced code,
p = getRandom(); to *p = *getRandon()?
If so, what is the difference?
Thanks.
