Functions

does anybody have a clue how to do a function which
return several variables ??

like:

main.c
int bla bla {

int a,b,c,d;
a,b,c,d = GetKey(a,b,c,d)

}

GetKey(int a, int b, int c, int d)
{

do_a_lot_of_funny_things;

return a,b,c,d;
}

thankz for your solutions - it’s great to have people like you - who
know what they are programming…

The way you’d do it would be

void GetKey(int a, int b, int c, int d, int *w, int *x, int *y, int z)
{
/
do random stuff, compute the “return values” */
*w = (first retval)
*x = (second retval)
*y = (third retval)
*z = (fourth retval)
}

and you’d call it this way:

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
int a, b, c, d;
/
blah, blah, blah… */

GetKey(a, b, c, d, &a, &b, &c, &d);
}

You pass pointers to the function for the values you want returned.–

You could, of course, do this.

typedef struct { int a; int b; int c; int d;} myretval;

myretval myfunc()
{

myretval temp={foo,bar,gah,eek};
return temp;

Use a struct

typedef struct S {

int a, b, c, d;
};

int main () {
S var;
var = function();On Sun, 25 Jun 2000, Joachim Schiele wrote:

well i would say that this is not the best way, better you should give
to the function the pointer to this struct, and in function access it
trough the pointer.

yes a pointer to the struct would be much better!On Mon, 26 Jun 2000, Kovacs wrote:
