Accessing the member in a struct array in a struct with a pointer

Question

the title pretty much says it all i have a struct with an array of struct as one of its member and I can't figure out how to access

struct Member{
   short x;
...
};

struct List{
   struct Member members[MAX_MEMBER];
...
};
short function(const struct List*n){
 if((n->members[i])->x ...)
...
}

I tried somethin like that but it doesn't work. Thanks for your answer

Answer 1

n->members is an array of struct Member , not an array of pointers. Hence n->members[i] is a struct Member , not a struct Member * . You should therefore access its members using . and not -> . Try:

if (n->members[i].x ...)
