Writing init function for C struct

Question

So this is my struct in a header file:

struct _Variable {
    char *variableName;
    char *arrayOfElements;
    int32_t address;
};
typedef struct _Variable Var         


        

Answer 1

You should pass &variable1 to your method. Operator & will take the address of your struct and that is what you need to assign to the pointer on variable.

Use:

Variable var1;

And then call the method:

initVariable(&var1, "variable1", "1, 2, 3", 4);
