Edit Question
Title
Body
I am a beginning programmer and know little about C. One thing I know but have not had explained to me is why functions can't return arrays. This is easily circumvented ( Return a 2d array from a function ) by use of pointers or by wrapping the array in a struct , but my question is "Why?". Why can't functions return arrays? I am aware that there are easy workarounds, but the question has been bugging me ever since I discovered it. Is this a flaw in C's internal design, or was this put there on purpose? Is there a particular reason that this limitation exists?
