C Exercises: Show a function returning pointer
C Pointer : Exercise-15 with Solution
Write a C program to demonstrate how a function returns a pointer.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int* findLarger(int*, int*);
void main()
{
int numa=0;
int numb=0;
int *result;
printf("\n\n Pointer : Show a function returning pointer :\n");
printf("--------------------------------------------------\n");
printf(" Input the first number : ");
scanf("%d", &numa);
printf(" Input the second number : ");
scanf("%d", &numb);
result=findLarger(&numa, &numb);
printf(" The number %d is larger. \n\n",*result);
}
int* findLarger(int *n1, int *n2)
{
if(*n1 > *n2)
return n1;
else
return n2;
}
Sample Output:
Pointer : Show a function returning pointer : -------------------------------------------------- Input the first number : 5 Input the second number : 6 The number 6 is larger.
