    Assigning memory address of member struct to pointer.

    I'm having a bit of trouble with pointers lately....still learnin more about them But more specifically then that, i'm having trouble assigning the memory address of a structure member to a pointer.. Anyone know the code for this?

    Code:
    typedef struct
    {
        int x;
        int y;
        int z;
    }
    _3DStruct_;
    Code:
    _3DStruct_ ptOne;
    That is just to give you an idea about what var's are in the struct and the name of the struct.

    The names of my pointers are 'pX', 'pY', and 'pZ', they need the memory addresses of x,y, and z assigned to them respectively. Any idea?

    You should be able to do something
    int* pX = &ptOne.x;
