Structs inside Structs in sequence

Question

I wanna do a program about blackjack game, but i am trying of a different way, but i don't know if is possible. The code is compiled but when start the program, it closes:

blackjack.exe has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

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

#define NUMBER_PLAYERS 6
#define NUMBER_SUITS 4
#define NUMBER_RANKS 13
#define NUMBER_CARDS (NUMBER_SUITS * NUMBER_RANKS)

typedef unsigned int uint;

typedef struct
{
    uint suit;
    uint rank;
} Card;

typedef struct card
{
    Card card;
    struct card *next;
} card;

typedef struct match
{
    card *list;
    struct match *next;
} Match;

typedef struct
{
    char *name;
    uint wins;
    uint losses;
    Match *match;
} Player;

void main(void)
{
    Player player[NUMBER_PLAYERS];
    uint i, j, count = 0;
    char *op;
    for(i = 0; i < NUMBER_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        printf("Name: ");
        scanf("%[^\n]s%*c", &player[i].name);
        printf("\n\n");
        player[i].losses = 0;
        player[i].wins = 0;
        player[i].match->next = NULL;
        player[i].match->list->next = NULL;
    }
    getchar();
}

Answer 1

Player *player[NUMBER_PLAYERS];  // it's an array of pointers, 

-> Any item in the array needs to point to a Player before you use it

    typedef struct match
{
    card *list;                  // it's a pointer
    struct match *next;
} Match;

-> card *list is also needs to point to an initialized card

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

#define NUMBER_PLAYERS 6

typedef unsigned int uint;

typedef struct
{
    uint suit;
    uint rank;
} Card;

typedef struct card
{
    Card card;
    struct card *next;
} card;

typedef struct match
{
    card *list;
    struct match *next;
} Match;

typedef struct
{
    char *name;
    uint wins;
    uint losses;
    Match *match;
} Player;

void main(void)
{
    Player player[NUMBER_PLAYERS];
    card cardList[NUMBER_PLAYERS];
    uint i;
    for(i = 0; i < NUMBER_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        player[i] = NULL;
        printf("Name: ");
        scanf("%[^\n]s%*c", &player[i].name);
        printf("\n\n");
        player[i].name;
        player[i].losses = 0;
        player[i].wins = 0;
        player[i].match->next = NULL;
        player[i].match.list = &cardList[i];
        player[i].match.list->next = NULL;
    }
    getchar();
}

Q: Why not just Player player[NUMBER_PLAYERS];? Why a pointer to an array, instead of just an array?

SUGGESTION: Change to scanf("s%", player[i]->name); I assume all you want is to input the name, correct?

SUGGESTION: Create one or more "init_xxx)" functions to initialize your structure (including substructures and/or link pointers) as needed.

Q: What is player[i]->name; supposed to do? Why not just delete that line?

Q: What do you mean by "when start the program, it close: This program has stop working..."? I notice you have a "getchar()" - does it skip right past getchar()" and terminate? Does the behavior change when you change the "scanf()"? Do you get an error message in any case?

Q: What compiler are you using? Are you on Windows, Linux or "something else"? Are you using an IDE (like Eclipse/CDT, or Visual Studio)?
