pointers to structures

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but if I follow you correctly I think this should work just fine for you:

typedef struct ru *ruta;
typedef struct ru
{
char m[3][3];
ruta next;
}rute;

First, if you are programming in C++, use this format instead:

struct rute
{
char m[3][3]
ruta next;
}

Otherwise, if you are just trying to code in C, stick with what you have. Also, try to keep your code indented as I did above. You will thank yourself later! :D

So

typedef struct ru
{
char[3][3];
ruta next;
}rute;

void main()
{
rute* instanceOfRute;
instanceOfRute->char[0] = "A";
instanceOfRute->char[1] = "B";
/* ...etc... */
//then just use printf or cout, to display the results as follows:
cout << instanceOfRute->[0];
}

Needless to say, since it appears that you are using a linked list data structure, you will need to make functions to traverse the list.

I hope this is helpful to you!

:)

typedef struct ru *ruta;typedef struct ru{	char m[3][3];	ruta next;}rute;int main(int argc, char **argv){	rute p;	strcpy(p.m[0], "1");	strcpy(p.m[1], "2");	strcpy(p.m[2], "3");	p.next = &p	printf("%s", p.next->m[0]);	printf("%s", p.next->m[1]);	printf("%s", p.next->m[2]);	getchar();	return 0;}

Typedef is more or less just a #define. It has some extra compiler error checking, but its ultimately just an alias. Officially, this is what the specification says to do:

struct foo{  int bar;  struct foo * next;};

After then, if you typedef a foo_t, then you can use it interchangably with struct foo.

typedef struct foo foo_t;foo_t ball;foo_t powder;ball.next = &powder

Just have to be careful, because of all the stack variables peppering the replies here.



That would fail horribly considering 'instanceOfRute' has not actually been assigned any value. Likewise, trying 'instanceOfRute->[0]' seems to be a syntax error because, and somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but neither C or C++ support empty attribute blocks (also known as error C3409)

xeddiex has the right idea, but you have to be careful when you get pointers to stack-based objects such as 'p'. In general, you want to stay away from

because 'p' will disappear when you exit that scope.

By the way... where did this code come from?

*cough* source tags *cough*

How do you use source tags? I'm kinda new here buddy. Lend a brother a hand.

*sheepish*

:D Oh god! I feel salty...

Yes my code is broken but I promise I am not that big of an ass!

I do this for a living (see how easy it is :D, you don't even have to know rudimentary programming lol)

Sorry about that

Cool, thanks for not flaming me. You rock. ++points;
