This is the question stated in my home assignment:

A structure pointer times of type time (which has three fields, all pointers to integers, day, month and year respectively) is declared. Using the pointer times, update the field day to 10.

a) times.day=10
b) *(times->day)=10
c) *times.day=10;
d) times.day=*10

I personally think that the answer should be either

times->day =10

or

(*times).day=10.

However both of these are not the given choices......

The rule of thumb is that if a struct is declared as a plain struct, you use the ., if it is declared as a pointer, you use the ->. So I'd go with b.

Me too.

As in the only choices are the first four that you listed? Taking the question as-is, it then looks like the none of the given options are correct. You may want to approach your instructor for clarification.
