type def question

[Denion]

the definition is circular I need to define edge in terms of node and node interms of edge?

how do I do it please?

typedef struct
	{
	   int nWeight;
	   node *Sibling;
	}edge;
	
	typedef struct
	{
	   char Name[100];
	   edge e[100];
	} node;

It won't compile bcoz node is used before definition. So, forward declaration comes to save u. Use this

struct node;
typedef struct
{
int nWeight;
node* Sibling;
}edge;

typedef struct node
{
char Name[100];
edge e[100];
}NODE ;

Now struct node has been declared before use and later defined. It works....
