creating structures help

hello,

I have read the tutorial on strutures and I have a simple question.
I would try it out myself but don't have a compiler on hand.

Say I've defined a struture

Code:

---

struct example
{
  int x;
};
example an_example;  //Treating it like a normal variable type
an_example.x=33;    //How to access it

---

Now the above has "created" a variable called an_example to access this particular structure.

As my program runs it will need to access different instances of the structure so how to I get it to "create/access an instance of structure?

In in the above code, rather than "an_example" can I actually have an array or something? that way I can access different elements in that array hence different instances of the structure?

Code:

---

example an_example[3];
an_example[0].x = 8;  //1st variable
an_example[1].x = 32;  //2nd variable
an_example[2].x = 5;  //3rd variable

---

thanks,

>>what do you mean it does not work?
