Please Help

Hello All

I tried to write this code. A structure is declared in the main function. I tried to pass the structure as a function parameter into function test. But it doesn’t work.

I was hoping if someone can just see my code take about 2-3 mins of there time and tell me where I went wrong and correct this code.

Any help big or small will be highly appreciated.

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct{
	int number;
	int place;
	int postcode;
} information_t;

int test(information_t *in);

int main()
{
	information_t information;
	information *in;
	
printf(" Please enter the number: ");
scanf(" %d",&information.number);

printf(" Please enter the place: ");
scanf(" %d",&information.place);

printf(" please enter the postcode: ");
scanf(" %d",&information.postcode);

test(&information_t  *in);

return 0;
}

int test(information_t  *in)
{
	int position;
	position= scanf(" %d%d%d", &in->number, &in->place, &in->postcode);
	
return(position);
}

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct{
	int number;
	int place;
	int postcode;
} information_t;

int test(information_t *in);

int main()
{
	information_t information;
	information_t *in; /* this line was wrong */
	
printf(" Please enter the number: ");
scanf(" %d",&information.number);

printf(" Please enter the place: ");
scanf(" %d",&information.place);

printf(" please enter the postcode: ");
scanf(" %d",&information.postcode);

test(in); /* test takes only one parameter: a pointer to a function */

return 0;
}

int test(information_t  *in)
{
	int position;
	position= scanf(" %d%d%d", &in->number, &in->place, &in->postcode);
	
return(position);
}

That will compile just fine.
