Hi,
I trying to write a section of code that will initiate a pointer for each iteration of a loop. I have no idea how to do it but this is what i tried.
but it is not working, anyone know how to do it.Code:i++; struct Employee *ptr"i"; ptr"i"=test->next;
Code:int i; for(i=0;i<MAX_COUNT;i++) { struct Employee* ptr = test->next; /* use the ptr here for the current iteration of the loop*/ }
All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

Ahh sorry i should have been clearer in my original post, I need to be able to create a desired amount of pointers for use outside the loop.
So what you actually need is an array of pointers to structs, from what I gather.Originally Posted by will of fortune
Try this:
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> struct blah{ int x; char y; }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ int num_ptrs = 10; struct blah **X; X = malloc(num_ptrs * sizeof(struct blah*)); /* X now points to X[0] which is the start of an array of struct blah pointers containing 10 pointers */ return 0; }
Aha that should work, although i found a way around it so i didn't need to have x amount of pointer, but that may be useful if i ever need it in the future.
