Pointer as return-value of a function

[scy]

hey guys,

i am trying to write a function where i convert a string of numbers to their ASCII-equals

i know that a function can only have 1 return value which is why i want/need to have a pointer as a return value to return the whole string.

i know that i need a pointer but i have no clue how to write the function.

Code:

Code: [Select]

int *stoi(char str[]) {
int z;
int g = 0;

for (z = 0; str[z] != '\0'; z++) {
g = ctoi(str[z]);
str[z] = g;
}

return str;
}this is the ctoi function:

Code: [Select]

int ctoi(char c) {
int i = 0;

i = c - '0';

return i;
}this is the code i have for the function.
i want to call the function like this:

Code: [Select]

char *str = "-211";
int *x;
x = stoi(str);
printf("\n%i \n", *x);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;and as you see i want to output the string into the console, but it just stays empty.

Well, this forum is for Pelle's C, which only runs on Windows ;-)

And we usually don't do the homework for other either.

I am a bit short on time right now (just stopped by to check for spammers to zap), I will get back to you with some hints later if no one else is biting in the meantime ...
