array of typedef struct

say I have:

Code:

typedef struct treeNode   
   { ..................
     .......................
   } TreeNode;

and I want to create an array of TreeNode, how do I do that?

We'll give you three guesses, first two don't count.

No really. Go to your compiler, and try three things. If you don't get one of them right, then tell us what you tried and we'll go over it.

Can I try ?

Here's a secret: You can do this

Code:

typedef struct treeNode   
   { ..................
     .......................
   } *TreeNode;

You do not need to specify the number of elements in *TreeNode when you declare it, but as with a *char, you need to malloc (and possibly realloc) enough space for it. Multiply by sizeof(*TreeNode).

Typedefing pointers can come back to haunt you later. Avoid it, is my advice.
What is so hard about typing out a lone *?
