Calling structs in functinos

I'm working on a program right now that requires me to create a few structures and functions, and the functions must call the structures I've created. When I compile my program, I get various scope errors. My structs are defined in my main() routine. Do I have to move the structs outside of the main() routine to stop getting these scope errors, or can I just use:

Code:

---

typedef struct name
  {
  variables
  };

---

in my main() routine?

Thanks for reading.

Move the structure definition outside of main and you shouldn't have any problems :-)

Code:

---

typedef struct {
  int i;
} test;

void f(test t)
{
  test d = t;
}

int main()
{
  test t;

  f(t);
}

---

Thanks for the help. I thought without the typedef I had to put struct in the function call. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
