The function returns a value whose type is pointer-to-float. The parameter is also pointer-to-float. Thus it could be.... static float x1=0; float *function_name(float *var){ x1=(*var)+17; //get float value from the parameter return &x1; //return address of a float variable }; -- Dave[XEMU] ________________(....=^¬¬^=______ ---<,,">
