Thread: problem changing the value of the thing a pointer points to

Code:

	puzzle->box[box].boxmember[n].memberpos[num] = 1;

memberpos is an array of integer pointers, I'm trying to set the variable that it points to to 1, but I cant figure out where to put the *

Code:

*(puzzle->box[box].boxmember[n].memberpos[num]) = 1;

results in an access violation error

Actually, we need to see more, like the declarations, etc....

I declared memberpos as an array of 9 integer pointers, n is between 0 and 8

Code:

typedef struct{
  int *memberpos[9];
  int *memberval;
}member;

Where does puzzle->box[box].boxmember[n].memberpos[num] point to - show us the allocation where you allocate the memory for that location.

ignore this topic, I simply made a mistake when telling the pointers what to point at
