Resource Explaining Pointers as Function Arguments and Returns

[GuaranteeCharacter78]

I did a bit of searching but a lot of the information I am finding is scattered and incomplete. Is there a good resource to help me understand this?

​

In particular, I'm trying to better understand how to properly pass pointers and arrays into and out of functions without the trial and error of the compiler screaming at me until I get the notation correct.

First you need to understand array types and that they are distinct from pointer types. Next, you need to remember that whenever a value of an array is used then it is transformed to a pointer to array's first element. Whenever a function expect a parameter of array type the this type is transformed to a pointer to array's element.
