无法为结构分配内存，错误：请求非结构或联合的成员“ ****”

Question

I am recently doing a school homework and I am stuck, in creating dynamic array of structs. I was looking everywhere, but no answer helped me, so can you please look at my code and help me, what is wrong? I keep getting error: C:\\kof\\test1\\main.c|29|error: request for member 'lenght' in something not a structure or union|

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

struct time
{
int mi;
int ho;
int dn;
int me;
int ro;
};

struct journey
{
int lenght;
struct time zac;
struct time kon;
int tank;
int price;
};


int main ()
{
struct journey *fail;
struct journey *b=(struct journey*) malloc (1*sizeof(struct journey));
fail=b;
fail.lenght=5;
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Since *fail is a pointer of type struct journey, you access its elements using the ' -> ' notation and not using the . notation as stated here
