Hey guys im loading some data from a file into memory using the structs.. i need to allocate some memory for it using malloc but im unsure which variables i need to use to allocate memory for the structs.
could someone also explain a little more about the structs
Code:
typedef struct category* CategoryTypePtr;
typedef struct item* ItemTypePtr;
/* Structure definitions. */
typedef struct price
{
unsigned dollars;
unsigned cents;
} PriceType;
typedef struct item
{
char itemID[ID_LEN + 1];
char itemName[MAX_NAME_LEN + 1];
PriceType prices[NUM_PRICES];
char itemDescription[MAX_DESC_LEN];
ItemTypePtr nextItem;
} ItemType;
typedef struct category
{
char categoryID[ID_LEN + 1];
char categoryName[MAX_NAME_LEN + 1];
char drinkType; /* (H)ot or (C)old. */
char categoryDescription[MAX_DESC_LEN];
CategoryTypePtr nextCategory;
ItemTypePtr headItem;
unsigned numItems;
} CategoryType;
typedef struct gjc
{
CategoryTypePtr headCategory;
unsigned numCategories;
} GJCType;
