Allocate memory for a struct with a character pointer in C

Question

I was struggling to fix a code today, then I come across something similar to:

typedef struct {
int a; 
int b; 
int c;
int d;
char* word;
} mystruct;

int main(i         


        

Answer 1

Add a second malloc for whatever length (N) you need for word

   mystruct* structptr = malloc(sizeof(mystruct));

   structptr->word = malloc(sizeof(char) * N);
