If I have a pointer pointing at a struct, how can I access one of its members?

Question

If I have struct for instance:

struct head {
   int s; 
   char x;
};

And I have pointer pointing to this struct, how can I access char x using this pointer?

With the `->` operator, usually... I suggest you double check your tutorial/book instead of expecting SO to provide one spontaneously. — StoryTeller - Unslander Monica, Apr 24 '17 at 09:20
[Here's a complete list of operators](https://www.csee.umbc.edu/courses/104/fall06/burt/precedenceTable.html). Read on the `->` operator. — Cong Ma, Apr 24 '17 at 09:21
Arrow syntax. ```myStructPtr->myMember```. In future, maybe google or a book would be a good idea. You'll probably find a more comprehensive answer — Luke K, Apr 24 '17 at 09:22

Supposing that you have :

struct head headNode;
struct *head headPtr = &headNode;

you can access char x with :

headPtr->x;
