Near initialization error in objective c - objective-c

Question

Why am I getting:
this error control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type]
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
const int MAX = 4;
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
char names[] = {
"Zara Ali",
"Hina Ali",
"Nuha Ali",
"Sara Ali",};
char *pointer[MAX];
for(int i=0; i<MAX; i++)
{
pointer[i] = &names[i];
}
for (i = 0; i < MAX; i++)
{
NSLog(#"Value of var[%d] = %s\n", i, *pointer[i] );
}
return 0;
}

Answer 1

A vector of chars is not the same as a vector of strings. A char has space for just one character. char[] is a vector of characters, not a vector of strings. If you initialise it like this:
char names[] = {
"Zara Ali",
"Hina Ali",
"Nuha Ali",
"Sara Ali",};
The names variable will keep the pointer just to the first string, it will be initialised just with the first string. All the next strings will be ignored.
I think you are trying to do something like this:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
const int MAX = 4;
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
NSString *names[] = {
#"Zara Ali",
#"Hina Ali",
#"Nuha Ali",
#"Sara Ali",};
NSString *pointer[MAX];
for(int i=0; i<MAX; i++)
{
pointer[i] = names[i];
}
for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++)
{
NSLog(#"Value of var[%d] = %#\n", i, pointer[i] );
}
return 0;
}
