I try to create a function, which returns astring (char array);

I tried different ways, but I always got error like:

[Error] conflicting types for 'readCommand'

Code:

char* cmd; //char cmd[256] *cmd = readCommand(); //function char* readCommand() { char cmd[256]; fgets(cmd, sizeof(cmd), stdin); return cmd; }

How can I return a string from this function?

    If cmd is not declared with the static qualifier, trying to access the returned value from readCommand will be undefined behavior Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 16:32
  • @GovindParmar i tried 'static char cmd[256];' bu the result the same. What I did wrong? Thank you! Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 16:34
  • @LeonidZolotarov The error comes from *cmd = readCommand(); instead of cmd = readCommand();, but you're doing it wrong anyway, read the duplicates. Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 16:38
