    calling a function with a pointer to a struct

    I am trying to wrap my noodle around the whole pointer concept here. I want call the function fun1 with a pointer. What syntax do I use? What I doing wrong?

    I get this error when I try to compile
    Code:
    boohoo.cpp: IN function 'int main(int, char**)':
    boohoo.cpp 21: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token

    Code:
     
    #include <iostream>
    
    
    using namespace std;
    
    struct myStruct
    {
    	long * stuff1;
    	long   stuff2;
    	long   stuff3;
    };
    
    void fun1(myStruct* workplz);
    
    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    	{
    	
    	myStruct workplz;
    
    	
    	fun1(workplz*);
    	
    	}//end main
    	
    void fun1 (myStruct* workplz)
    {
    	cout<<"it works."<<endl;
    }
    any help would be great

    I get maybe two dozen requests for help with some sort of programming or design problem every day. Most have more sense than to send me hundreds of lines of code. If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
