Question

I’m not new to C but I just found out a problem which I have to deal with.
How do I access the member of a struct that is a pointer to another struct?

ex.

typdef struct {
   int points;
} tribute;

typedef struct {
    int year;
    tribute *victor;
} game;

int main(){
  tribute myVictor;
  myVictor.points = 10;  

  game myGame;
  myGame.year = 1994; // Runs fine
  myGame.victor = myVictor; // I want to point the victor member of the game struct to 
                            //myVictor object... But it gives me an error
} 

How could I correct this? I know that I should’ve made the myGame variable as a pointer.. but I’m asking if I can do this in a normal struct variable.

Answer 1

Try:

myGame.victor = &myVictor;
