Thread: Help with malloc and structures?

I'm trying to use malloc to allocate memory for a couple of structures in a function. I've done my research but haven't been able to find anything that's helped me. Here are the structures:

Code:

    typedef struct _node
    {
    char letter;
    int num_neighbors;
    struct _node *neighbors[8];
    } node;

    typedef struct _graph
    {
    int num_nodes;
    struct _node *nodes; /* pointer to first element in an array of   nodes */
    } graph;

Here's what I've been trying:

Code:

    graph* graph_create(int size)
    {
        node** neighbors = malloc(8*sizeof(node*));
        for (int count = 0; count < 8; count++)
        {
            neighbors[count] = malloc(sizeof(node));
        }
    graph *newGraph;
    newGraph = malloc(sizeof(graph));
    newGraph->num_nodes = size;
    

    return newGraph;


}

What happens to your neighbors?
