pragma solidity ^0.5.12;
contract sample {
 mapping(address => uint256[12]) fruits;
 function getfruit(address addr) public view returns (uint256[] storage fr) { //line 3
  return (fruits[addr]);
 }
}

Look at the above code. Here firstly since fruits is public, getfruit() should not be even required. But the auto-generated fruits() only returns index 0 (only the first element) but I want all. Now as far as function is concerned, it gives error when I use 'storage' in line 3. Now if I make it memory , I tried the following code but still throws error saying 'TypeError: Type uint256[12] is not implicitly convertible to uint256[] memory' (which sounds reasonable, but then how do I get the array)?

pragma solidity ^0.5.12;
contract sample {
 mapping(address => uint256[12]) fruits;
 function getfruit(address addr) public view returns (uint256[] storage fr) { //line 3
  uint256[] memory veggies = new uint256[] (12);
  veggies = fruits[addr];
  return (veggies);
 }
}

Change this:

uint256[] storage fr

To this:

uint256[12] memory

  • @learningOneErrorAtATime: What do you mean "still"? In your question you've described a compilation error. How could there be "still" in here if you couldn't even compile the contract and call this function beforehand??? Commented Mar 10, 2020 at 13:16
  • My bad. Tried several ways. So I was talking for the auto-generated function returning only first element. Now if we just write, function getfruit(address addr) public view returns (uint256[12] memory fr) { return (fruits[addr])} still returns first element. Commented Mar 10, 2020 at 13:26
  • @learningOneErrorAtATime: The auto-generated function indeed returns only the first element. But you've posted your own (manually-generated) function, which I've instructed you how to fix. How exactly were you thinking to apply my suggestion on the auto-generated function??? Commented Mar 10, 2020 at 13:32
  • Please show how you're calling function getfruit, and what brings you to the conclusion that it only returns 1 element of the array. Commented Mar 10, 2020 at 13:33
