    pointers to things in nodes (or dumb arsed question number two)

    ok, so heres one i just don't know (and don't have enough time to crash test my pc to find out)

    if you have a variable in a node in a list how do you get a pointer to that variable...for example:

    Code:
    struct node
    {
      int      number;
      node  *next;
    };
    
    node *list;
    new list = node;
    i know to get to number its

    Code:
     int localStorageForNumber
    localStorageForNumber = list->number;
    but how would you get &number?
    i've tried
    Code:
    int *pointerToNumber
    
    pointerToNumber = &list->number
    but i don't think its working because i'm getting access errors later on in code that relied on the above.

    thanks,
    astride a storied past, thats everywhere you are
