Thread: cannot assign struct member values

I'm a C beginner trying to assign struct member values to other struct members to
create a list
I've tried dot notation, pointer notation, strcpy, memcpy, memmove and normal assignment.
Nothing has worked
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated

cust_list.h

First, what exactly are you trying to do ? Maybe you could tell us what you are trying to do then we could start from there.

Second, please post the code you wrote - the code you posted seems like -just- what you were given by a lecturer or something.

Firstly, I'm trying to create a list - more specifically a linked list
Another module has populated the struct - this now is my data input for the list

Secondly, this is lecture code adapted (which I'm allowed, but don't want)
The reason for doing this is that my attempt failed - the obvious reason was loosing track of what I was doing, which can only be from lack of understanding
By doing this I now understand

So, I'm not worried about the code to create a linked list - the problem is in my two tries and this one, nothing I do allows me to assign cptr.custHead->member value or cp->custHead->member value (input) to new.member or new->member

Until I sort this, I can't continue

So as I said - any help is greatly appreciated

ps I added the other modulets_utility.cts_utility.h

Why do you

Code:

typedef struct customerNode
{
   ...
} CustomerNodeType;

?

I see people doing this all the time. Why?
When

Code:

struct CustomerNodeType
{
   ...
};

would work fine.

That happens a lot in C code because the struct (and union) keyword would need to precede the type name otherwise, wherever it is used.
