Pointer to structure problem

Hey guys i m New to C and i was just learning pointer to structure i need help thanks

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
struct cd
{
int x;
int lol;
};
read(int *e)
{
printf("Please enter number: ");
scanf("%d",&e->x);
printf("Number is %d",*e->x);

}
int main(void)
{
int x;
read(&x);
return 0;
}

---

I suppose read should take a pointer to struct cd, not a pointer to int.

Just because struct cd has a member named x doesn't mean that if you have an int x in main it will be the same thing. Here is your code with a couple of changes so that it will compile, and in a more readable format:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

struct cd {
        int x;
        int lol;
};

read(int *e) {
        printf("Please enter number: ");
        scanf("%d",e);
        printf("Number is %d\n",*e);
}

int main(void) {
        struct cd mkcd;
        read(&mkcd.x);
        printf("Number is %d\n",mkcd.x);
        return 0;
}

I added the line in green, and the \n's...it's just like christmas!

thanks alot mate and happy christmas
