How do you pass a character array

I want to pass an array of characters i.e. a String in c 

int main()
{
    const   char c[]="Joseph";

    TestWord(&c,&c);
    return 0; 
}

int TestWord(char tiles[], char  word[])
{
    return tiles; 
}

you could pass a string(character array) in C in many ways. This code passes the string a to the function PRINT. Note that in this method the base address of the array is sent to the function.

    #include<stdio.h>

    void PRINT(char b[])
    {
        printf("%s",b);
    }
    int main()
    {
       char a[]="hello";
       PRINT(a);
       return 0;
    }

#include <stdio.h>

char *TestWord(char tiles[], char word[]);


int main()
{
     char c[]="Joseph";
     char r;


    r = *TestWord(c,c);

    return 0;
}

char *TestWord(char tiles[], char word[])
{
    return tiles;
}

You pass through the arrays without the & as arrays don't need those, as they are already somewhat like pointers, just like how you would scanf an array without the & symbol.

Don't forget that if you are returning tiles that you should save that in a variable.
