How to print elements from another function into main function - arrays

Question

I can't figure out how to print array elements from my function into the main program so if some can examine this code and help me fix it I would appreciate it. The program is supposed to take the length of the array from user input and then ask for its elements and print them out afterward.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
int arrayN(int N) {
printf("Input array lenght: ");
scanf("%d",&N);
if(N>2) {
return N;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
int arrayelements(int array[], int array_length) {
int loop, i, N;
array_length = arrayN(N);
printf("Enter elements of the array: \n");
for(int i = 0; i < array_length; ++i) {
scanf("%d", &array[i]);
}
for(loop = 0; loop < array_length; loop++) {
printf("%d ", array[loop]);
}
}
int main() {
int N, array[], array_length;
int b = arrayelements(array[], array_length);
int a = arrayN(N);
printf("Array length is: %d \n", a);
printf("Elements of array are: %d \n", b);
return 0;
}

I reworked your example code. Hope it is what you want.
Focus lied on fixing the array declaration issues, memory allocation and
user input.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int userinput_integer(const char *fmt, ...){
int N, rv = 0;
va_list va;
va_start(va, fmt);
vprintf(fmt, va);
while(1){
rv = scanf("%d", &N);
if (1 == rv) break;
printf("Input error! The input >>");
do{
rv = fgetc(stdin);
if (isprint(rv)) putchar(rv);
}while(rv != EOF && rv != '\n');
printf("<< is not a valid integer.\nPlease try again: ");
}
va_end(va);
return N;
}
int userinput_arraylength(void) {
int N;
N = userinput_integer("Input array lenght: ");
if(N>2) {
return N;
} else {
printf("Invalid length\n");
return 0;
}
}
int userinput_arrayelements(int *array, int N) {
printf("Enter elements of the array: \n");
for(int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
array[i] = userinput_integer("%d: ", i);
}
return N;
}
void print_arrayelements(int *array, int N){
for(int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
printf("%d ", array[i]);
}
}
int main() {
int N, *array;
N = userinput_arraylength();
array = malloc(N * sizeof(*array));
if (NULL == array){
printf("Allocation error!\n");
exit(-1);
}
N = userinput_arrayelements(array, N);
printf("Array length is: %d \n", N);
printf("Elements of array are:\n");
print_arrayelements(array, N);
free(array);
return 0;
}

Fistly, declaration of array is not correct.
It should be array[] = {0}
Secondly, you cannot call your array elements function before arrayN function, the size of array should be entered first
And in the array elements() there is no need to call the size function you can directly pass the size of array when calling the array elements ()
Here's the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include<malloc.h>
int *getarray()
{
int size;
printf("Enter the size of the array : ");
scanf("%d",&size);
int *p= malloc(sizeof(size));
printf("\nEnter the elements in an array");
for(int i=0;i<size;i++)
{
scanf("%d",&p[i]);
}
return p;
}
int main()
{
int *ptr;
ptr=getarray();
int length=sizeof(*ptr);
printf("Elements that you have entered are : ");
for(int i=0;ptr[i]!='\0';i++)
{
printf("%d ", ptr[i]);
}
return 0;
}
