Method of Type Array

[hassanAman]

is there any way to return arrays from functions? (Like this, not with any
star operators)


class Temp{

public:
static float getNewArray[5](){
return float[5];
}

};

int main(){

float arr[] = Temp::getNewArray();

}

SORRY!!!

I said I DID NOT need the star operator, how ever that is still awesome, any idea without star operator?

[MikeyBoy]

When you say "star operator", I'm assuming you mean "pointer"?

Why don't you want to use a pointer? That's exactly what you should use in this situation.

The C++ way is to not use an array, but use a vector.

class Temp
{
  public:
  static vector<float>getNewVector()
  {
    return vector<float>(5);
  }
};

int main()
{
  vector<float> vec = Temp::getNewVector();
}

This does not seem to have any "stars":

#include <vector>

int main(){
  std::vector<float> arr (5);
}

The 'arr' is effectively an array of 5 floats.

It is an object too, that can be returned from function (a copy/move does occur):

#include <vector>

std::vector<float> bar( size_t n ) {
  return std::vector<float>( n );
}

int main() {
  auto foo = bar( 42 );
}
