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

as you can read here you need to allocate the char * separately :

mystruct* structptr = malloc(sizeof(mystruct));
structptr->word = malloc(sizeof(WhatSizeYouWant));
