[Death on Wheels]

How do I write a function that will return a struct?

might be easier to just make objects.

have you tried just returning it like any other variable?

struct s
{/* data for struct goes here */};

struct s f ()
{/* Your code goes here */;}


If not you can try:

typedef struct S
{/* data for struct goes here */} s;

s f ()
{/* Your code goes here */;}

Yes, BrianDrozd, I know how to define a struct. However, I'm trying to get a function that returns a struct. I know how to return individual parts of a struct, but I don't know how to return an entire struct.

Your Yarness: This particular struct is the data type for one of the data members of a class.

I din't mean to imply that you didn't. I am sincerly sorry if that was the message you got. It was not my intention at all. I merely beleive that my examples would not have demonstrated anything if the definitions of the struct had not been included as well.

If what I suggested didn't work, however, try this.

struct s {}
struct s* f ()
{/* your function goes here */;}


Again my apologies if I offended you.
