Write a program where the calling function must simply pass an appropriate array pointer and maximum number of elements as arguments. These functions may also be written explicitly in terms of indirect access.

Program:

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 50
int main()
{
	int arr[MAX],n;
	int getdata(int *, int);
	void show(int *, int);
	n = getdata(arr, MAX);
	show(arr, n);
	return 0;
}
/* Function reads scores in an array. */
int getdata(int *a, int n)
{
	int x, i = 0;
	printf("\n Enter the array size\n");
	scanf("%d",&n);
    printf("\n Enter the array elements one by one\n");
	while(i < n)
	{
		scanf("%d", &x);
		*(a + i) = x;
		i++;
	}
	return i;
}
void show(int *a, int n)
{
	int i;
	for(i=0;i<n;++i)
	printf("\n %d", *(a+i));
}

Output:

 Enter the array size
