ah ok, I wasn't allocating space for the array correctly (with calloc) so the Array2String... was showing the garbage values in my uncleared memory.

yes, i'm returning a fixed size array of ull (ull ret[3]) which should be equivalent to an unsigned long long*

Are you returning what is asked? (re-read the signature of the function).

Attempting in C. Can't figure this one out at all. This function in the test code:-

char* array2StringULongLong(ull* array, int sz);

seems to be mangling my returned array so that I get errors like this...

Error. Expected 55, 89, 1
but got 55, 89, 4201070

when I am certain that the third item is the array is 1, not 4201070. I have tried using the bool lib and using true, I have also tried using littorals with various suffixes, can't get it to work. Help pls.

In Python you can use [-1] as the index to a list to access the first item from the right.

sorry for the noob question, but why access items from the -1 index?? wouldn't that give an out of bounds exception?

Is it really necessary to pass a list of dicts? surely a list of strings would have tested the same skills. names[-1]['name']... makes my eyes hurt.
