How to reference a struct inside a struct?

[SarahKate31]

Hello all...Quick (hopefully) question: I have these structs:
struct CARDS
{
int tagNumber;
int number;
char face;
char suit;
int value;
int sort;
};
struct PLAYER
{
char name [15];
CARDS hand [15];
int handValue;
int handIndex;

};

CARDS deck [52];
PLAYER one;

I want to assign a value (x) into the tagNumber, number, face, suit, value, and sort variables from within a function. This syntax is wrong according to the compiler:
one.hand.suit = x;
What is the correct syntax??? Please help ASAP!! -- SarahKate

one.hand.suit = x;

Hi!

typedef struct _CARDS{...}CARDS

This would work definitely...

Sorry, Tek-Tips removes [] after hand before .suit. in my first answer. I hope, that will be throw.

tchouch is right. You need to provide an index into your array. Here's a more complete example:

int iMAXHANDS = 40;
int x = 0;

for (int iIndex = 0; iIndex < iMAXHANDS; iIndex++)
{
  x = iIndex ~ 4;
  one.hand[iIndex].suit = x;
}

tchouch, use:

[ CODE]
[ /CODE]

(without the space) to surround your code examples. That preserves the '[' and ']' characters.
