I have the following printf
 printf("%s ",get_var_type(type));

How do I make the get_var_type(type) return a char *type ?
or do I have to return the address?
Let me clarify.

I have a function that will receive a "string" as a parammeter and I would
like to return a "string"

notr "string" means pointer to a char
