c - How to assign null to pointer of struct? -

i not sure i'f specific , clear enough. sick clear doubt. trying assign null value pointer.

given code :

typedef struct date { int year; int month; }date; typedef struct record { char name[20]; char cdate[20]; float quanitity; int barcode; date date; }record;

and in main :

record *records = malloc(10 * sizeof(record)); records[0] = null;

this doesn't work, when define similliar array of premitive type, illustration int can assign values, or null illustration for

int *avi = malloc(sizeof(int)*10); avi[0] = 3; avi [0] = null;

it works fine, i've printed values , seen changes. when same array of pointers struct, defined above can not assign null value..

clueless. using eclipse ide. in advance.

your problem records pointer 10 objects. thus, records[0] first object. cannot set object null.

it appears work int because set int zero, not null.

c arrays eclipse pointers struct
