Thread: struct/pointer compile error

Code:

struct book {
    int pages;
    int year;
} b1;

b1.pages = 100;

this gives me a compile error (at the "b1.pages = 100;" line):
error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '.' token


any help appreciated, never seen this before..

/n

if u provide the assignment globally, the compiler will show the parse error...make the assignment in any of the functions, such as

Code:

int main() 
{
     b1.pages  = 100;
}

this will solve the issue
