C++ functions (returning strings)

This is in C/C++:
Ok, I get how returning numbers, characters, bool, but how would I return a string. Such as:

Code:

---

// header files here
char foo();

int main()
{

    return 0;
}

char foo()
{
    bar[7] = "foobar";
    return  bar;
}

---

How do I get a function to return a string?

you can't really return a string... what you can do is send an array of characters by pointers or a string (from string.h) by referance.

Now, i have read that you can setup a function like

string goodbye()
{
return( "thank you for using this program");
}

but i've had mixed results

You should also consult your compiler's help manual to see if this kind of stuff will work.

have fun

Good Evening,

yep, but passing strings by ref is better pop this in it:

void myfunc(string &s);

buts if you really want to:

string myfunc(int, int);


good luck
