I don't really understand how the pointer to pointer works. Any way to do the same work without using pointer to pointer? struct customer{ char name[20]; char surname[20]; int code; float money; }; typedef struct customer customer; void inserts(customer **tmp) { *tmp = (customer*)malloc(sizeof(customer)); puts("Give me a customer name, surname code and money"); scanf("%s %s %d %f", (*tmp)->name, (*tmp)->surname, &(*tmp)->code,&(*tmp)->money); }
