Consider the following code:
char CeaserCrypt(char str[256],int key)
{
char encrypted[256],encryptedChar;
int currentAsci;
encrypted[0] = '\0';
for(int i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++)
{
currentAsci = (int)str[i];
encryptedChar = (char)(currentAsci+key);
encrypted[i] = encryptedChar;
}
return encrypted;
}
Visual Studio 2010 gives an error because the function returns an array. What should I do?
My friend told me to change the signature to void CeaserCrypt(char str[256], char encrypted[256], int key)
. But I don't think that is correct. How can I get rid of the compile error?
