c - Adding multiple values to array -

i needed array hold 4 values defined within function fn1, created array: int somearray[4]; in main() . although understand values might entered array individually number: somearray[1]=3;, numbers in variables n1, n2, n3, n4.

is there method accomplish this?

i have considered possibility of creating array within function, transferring individual values somearray[].

i'm evidently quite new c, , thought of returning array came mind. i'm quite sure it's not right, have confirmation anyway.

thanks in advance.

to makoto:

main(){ int sumarray[4]; int n1,n2,n3,n4;  int fn1(){ n1=1; n2=23; n3=29; n4=14;  sumarray[]={n1,n2,n3,n4}  return 0; }  return 0; } 

well.. @ least that's attempting anyway

you can like:

char somearray[] = {n1, n2, n3, n4}; 

if write auxiliary function, allocate array on stack (i.e., put array in local variable), can't return it. because it's on stack, , overwritten in future. example, wouldn't say:

int *f() {      unsigned a[] = {n1, n2, n3, n4}; } 

instead, use malloc, allocates memory on heap. so, contrast, can say,

int *f() {     unsigned *a = malloc(sizeof(int)*4);     ...     return a; }
