Hi, really silly question! I have defined a sample struct:- typedef struct record { int one; int two; int three; } record; And i'm trying to access it by:- using record.one = 1; But i'm getting an error of 'record' was not declared in this scope. Even though the decloration was in the setu…

Structs are generally declared more like this: struct record { int one; int two; int three; }; typedef struct record Record; Then, in your code, you can have this: Record aRec; aRec.one = 12;

There's nothing wrong with declaring it typedef struct { int one; int two; int three; } record, *precord; which also handily defines the datatype "record" and a pointer to that datatype "precord".

There's nothing wrong with declaring it No, except for readability. I have an easier time understanding my way than I do understanding your way. I know that the compiler has no such issue.

Thanks Guys! It works nicely now!! MaF

You haven't declared a variable of type "record", you've declared a datatype called "record".
