Thread: Pointer in struct?

He2 I haven't learnt the operator precedence yet

but thanks to both of you! I've learnt two new things

I think my problem has solved..

You might also have learned that, if you have a pointer to a struct, you can use two different ways to access its members:

Code:

struct myStruct{
    int number;
};

int main( void )
{
    struct myStruct *s = malloc(sizeof(struct myStruct));
}

In this case, the two following operations are the same:

Code:

(*s).number;

// or
s->number;

In fact, the "->" operator has been introduced to automatically dereference a pointer to a struct to immediately access its members.
