Don't know why I am getting a syntax error

I am working on a project using structures and when I compile my program I get a syntax error, in main before char. My code so far is:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h> 
#define SIZE 30

 typedef  struct  //student records
{
  char fName[20];
  char lName[20];
  int gLevel;
  char ssn[11];
  int month;
  int day;
  int year;
}STUDENT;

void fillStruct(char argv,STUDENT* sarr[]);


int main(int argc,char* argv[])
{
  STUDENT* stud[SIZE];
 
  fillStruct(char argv,stud);
 
 
 
  return 0;
}

---

if any one could please tell me what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreaciate it.

You don't use types when passing an argument.
fillStruct takes a single char as argument and not a string.

Code:

---

fillStruct(char argv,stud);

---

I expect this is also somewhat wrong, as I expect you want the char *, not char:

Code:

---

void fillStruct(char argv,STUDENT* sarr[]);

Ok I changed my declaration to:

Code:

---

void fillStruct(char *argv,STUDENT* sarr[]);

---

and the function call in main to:

Code:

---

fillStruct(argv,stud);

---

and now when I compile it says " warning: passing arg 1 of `fillStruct' from incompatible pointer type"

argv is char**, not char*.

Yes, because argv is an array of pointers, you probably don't want to pass the entire array, but one of the elements in argv - although of course, I'm just guessing what your function actually wants.

Thanks a lot guys my program is compiling now. I can now get on to the bulk of the project. Thanks again.
