How do I return an array of pointers in a function?

So I have an array of pointers that references 3 instances of a class, I need to create a function that gets the references to those 3 instances and returns it into that array.

Here is what I have been trying:

#include<cstdlib>
#include<cinttypes>
#include<random>

//Random number generator
uint8_t rand(uint8_t max){
    std::default_random_engine generator;
    std::uniform_int_distribution<uint8_t> distribution(0,max);

    return distribution(generator);
}

class MyClass{
    //...
}
myClass[100];

MyClass * getReferences(){ //What should the type of this be?
    MyClass * arrayOfPointers[3];

    for(uint8_t i=0;i<2;++i){
        arrayOfPointers[i]=&myClass[rand(2)];
    }

    return arrayOfPointers;
}

int main(){
    MyClass * arrayOfPointers[3]=getReferences();

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
