I need an example of a function that returns a string.

This is the kind of thing I want:

Code: Select all

char stateName( int stateID )
{
 
  char *result;
 
  switch ( stateID )
  {
    case 0: strcpy ( result, "STANDING" ); break;
    case 1: strcpy ( result, "WALKING" ); break;
    case 2: strcpy ( result, "RUNNING" ); break;
    case 3: strcpy ( result, "DYING" ); break;
  }

  return result;

}


Usage: strcpy ( debug.text, stateName(0) );

Use:

char *stateName( int stateID )

Thanks mate.
