Pointers and stuctures question.

[cdummie]

I need to know how to access the nested structure using pointer, i mean i know how to do that when i have simple structure, for example:

struct person{
      char fname[16], lname[16];
      int age; 
                }

for this example i can use

 (*pointer).age

or

pointer->age

but if i have structure like this:

struct date{
      int day, month, year;
}


struct person{ 
char fname[16], lname[16];
struct date birthDate;
                      }

then how can i access the birthDate using pointer?
