accessing members in nested structs

[amidstTheAshes]

ok, I have these structures:

typedef struct card {
  
  char face;
  char suite;
  int value;
  int num;

} CARD;



typedef struct deck {
  
  CARD cards[MAX_CARDS];
  
  /* used cards */
  int struck[MAX_CARDS];
  
} DECK;

I'm trying to pass a pointer to a deck to a function which will initialize it, but whenever I try to access members (e.g. d->cards[k].num) it gives me a segmentation fault error.

any advice is greatly appreciated.

Have you actually initialized d or is it just pointing to some random memory location?

oops... thanx!
