Why when I tried to store values in allocated memory I keep getting an error?

I am writing a program that prints out the value of cards using a structure.

I'm a beginner in data structure and I'm trying to advance my knowledge in this area.

Values of Cards
Face [1 - Ace, 2 - 2, ......, 11 - Jack, 12 - Queen, 13 - King]
Shape [0 - Spades, 1 - Clubs, 2 - Diamonds, 3 - Hearts]
Color [0 - Black, 1 - Red]

I've used the malloc function to allocate memory for 3 cards, which was passed to a pointer name *myCards, with type struct cards.

Code:

---

struct Cards *myCards;
    myCards = (struct Cards *)malloc(3 * sizeof(struct Cards));

---

I am trying to store 3 cards (Queen Spades, 4 Diamonds, Ace Clubs) in the space of the allocated memory, using the pointer myCards but I'm getting an error when I ran the code.

error(incompatible types when assigning to type 'struct Cards' from type 'int')

My structure

Code:

---

struct Cards {
    int face[13];
    int shape[3];
    int color[1];
}Cards;

---

Code for storing the 3 cards

Code:

---

    *(myCards + 0) = 12, 1;
    *(myCards + 1) = 4, 2;
    *(myCards + 2) = 1, 1;

A single card has only a single face value, single shape and single colour.
Also, shape implies colour - diamonds are always red for example.

So

Code:

---

// Note the use of the singular, not plural
struct Card {
  int face;
  int shape;
};

---

You then go onto create 3 cards.

Code:

---

struct Card *myCards;
myCards = malloc(3 * sizeof(struct Cards));
myCards[0].face = 10;
myCards[0].shape = 1;
myCards[0].color = 1;
// etc

Glad to hear that the C problem has been fixed, although it looks like your Ginger problem is still there :p
