Što je niz?
Niz je vrsta podatkovne strukture koja pohranjuje homogenu zbirku podataka fiksne veličine. Ukratko, možemo reći da je niz skup varijabli istog tipa.
math.pow java
Na primjer, ako želimo deklarirati 'n' broj varijabli, n1, n2...n., ako kreiramo sve te varijable pojedinačno, onda to postaje vrlo zamoran zadatak. U tom slučaju stvaramo niz varijabli istog tipa. Svakom elementu niza može se pristupiti pomoću indeksa elementa.
Pogledajmo prvo kako proslijediti jednodimenzionalni niz funkciji.

Therefore, we can say that this program is returning memory location, which is already de-allocated, so the output of the program is a <strong>segmentation fault</strong> .</p> <p> <strong>Output</strong> </p> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/c-tutorial/16/return-an-array-c-3.webp" alt="Return an Array in C"> <p> <strong>There are three right ways of returning an array to a function:</strong> </p> <ul> <tr><td>Using dynamically allocated array</td> </tr><tr><td>Using static array</td> </tr><tr><td>Using structure</td> </tr></ul> <img src="//techcodeview.com/img/c-tutorial/16/return-an-array-c-4.webp" alt="Return an Array in C"> <p> <strong>Returning array by passing an array which is to be returned as a parameter to the function.</strong> </p> <pre> #include int *getarray(int *a) { printf('Enter the elements in an array : '); for(int i=0;i<5;i++) { scanf('%d', &a[i]); } return a; int main() *n; a[5]; n="getarray(a);" printf('
