    errors on structures

    void records(struct drivers_license *record[15]);
    void changes(struct drivers_license *record[15]);

    int main()
    {
    struct drivers_license record[15];
    sprintf(record[0].lastname,"Daniel");
    printf("%12s",record[0].lastname);
    records(*record[]);//expression syntax error right here
    changes(*record[]);//expression syntax error right here

    return 0;
    }

    void records(struct drivers_license *record[15])
    {
    printf("%s",record[0]->lastname);
    }

    void changes(struct drivers_license *record[15])
    {
    }

    I get an expression syntax error in main when trying do declear the records and changes functions.

    I had to recreate the structure to keep from getting a slew of errors, but the two errors you got can be eliminated by just passing the array name, without the dereference operator and [] operators. Like so:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    void records(struct drivers_license record[15]);
    void changes(struct drivers_license record[15]);
    
    struct drivers_license{
    	char lastname[1024];
    };
    
    int main(void){
    	struct drivers_license record[15];
    
    	sprintf(record[0].lastname,"Daniel");
    	printf("%12s",record[0].lastname);
    	
    	records(record); /*array name only*/
    	changes(record); /*array name only*/
    
    	return 0;
    }
    
    void records(struct drivers_license record[15]){
    	printf("%s",record[0].lastname); /*no pointer, no ->*/ 
    }
    
    void changes(struct drivers_license record[15]){
    	/*placeholder*/
    }
    pointer = NULL
