I've got a structure which holds names and ages. I've made a linked-list of these structures, using this as a pointer:

aNode *rootA;

in my main. Now i send **rootA to a function like so

addElement(5,"Drew",**rootA);

Because i need to pass rootA by reference so that I can edit it in other functions (in my actual program i have two roots, so return will not work)

The problem is, in my program, i can't say access the structure members.

*rootA->age = 4;

for example doesnt work.

Hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanks!
