Thread: Struct problem

iv'e gone over this like 50 times and i just keep getting a
'expected primary-expression before '.' token ' error
i just donno whats wrong with it :|

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct Sprite
{
       int Pox, Poy;   // DEFINES CO-ORDINATES
       int Direction;    // SETS SPRITES DIRECTION
                         // 1 UP
                         // 2 RIGHT
                         // 3 DOWN
                         // 4 LEFT
       int health;       // SETS HEALTH
       int Width, Hight; // SETS SPRITE DEMENTIONS
       }Player;


       
void func(void)
{
Player.Pox = 100;
}

int main(void)
{
     func();
     
     printf("%d",Player.Pox);
         
     getchar();
}

Why do you need the typedef? This structure works fine (as an example):

Code:

    struct control
    {
        char caption[3];
        int x, y;
     } numberbtns;

i thought i needed it to declear it outside of a function :S
i must have misread something somewhere; soz i'm still learning

i tried declaring a struct in a header file, didn't work. So that would mean that structs neeed to be declared inside a function.

That's absolute bull. Structs can definitely be declared in header files, outside functions.
