Please help me understand what I am doing wrong here. I am unable to set firstCard.next->titleCode:#include <stdio.h> char * strcpy(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2); struct item { char title[20]; struct item *next; } firstCard; int main () { strcpy(firstCard.next->title, "whatever"); }
> char * strcpy(char *restrict s1, const char *restrict s2);
You should #include <string.h> rather than inventing your own prototype.
> strcpy(firstCard.next->title, "whatever");
You need to make firstCard.next point to some valid memory, before you apply the -> operator to it.
Say
firstCard.next = malloc( sizeof(*firstCard.next));
then you can do the copy.
Don't forget to #include <stdlib.h> as well.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
thank you very much, Salem
