c - How can a function create a struct? -

one of assignments c programming course define function called create_card. function receives suit character , card value, , returns card_t struct.

question: how function supposed create struct? can't create values struct? did misinterpret meaning of question or assignment written down wrong?

this example of function returning struct.

struct test {     int a; }; struct test fun(int k) {     struct test d;     d.a=k;     return d; }

replace struct test name of struct , definition of struct test struct's definition.

how use

int main() {     struct test test=fun(6);     printf("%d",test.a); // prints '6'     return 0; }
