C declarations work by declaring an expression involving the identifier as having a named type (in this case, "char"). "(*pa())[i]" is a character, for 0 <= i < 4. Therefore: "(*pa())" is an array of four characters. Therefore: "pa()" is a pointer to an array of four characters. Therefore: "pa" is a function returning a pointer to an array of four characters. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
