How do I use a struct as a parameter in a function ?

Question

I have a struct

struct MyStruct
{ string Airline_Node; // Name of up to 20 letters
int Flight_Node;
string City1_Node;
string City2_Node;
int Cost_Node;
int Passangers_Node;
};

In my main I made a dynamic array of structs and now I want to compare the variables

I tried

bool Compare_Flights( struct *Mystruct1, struct *MyStruct2){

//compare code

return true; //true or false depending on compare code
}

but I keep getting

error C2332: 'struct' : missing tag name

any help would be greatly apreciated :)

By the way im using C++

Answer 1

you need to give your struct a name.

change
struct MyStruct
{ string Airline_Node; // Name of up to 20 letters
int Flight_Node;
string City1_Node;
string City2_Node;
int Cost_Node;
int Passangers_Node;
};


to
struct MyStruct
{ string Airline_Node; // Name of up to 20 letters
int Flight_Node;
string City1_Node;
string City2_Node;
int Cost_Node;
int Passangers_Node;
} Node; //or whatever you want to name it

then declare your 2 structs like this
Node Mystruct1, Mystruct2;//or whatever you want to name them

then to pass them
bool Compare_Flights(&Mystruct1, &Mystruct2);

your compare function
bool Compare_Flights(struct &Mystruct1,struct &Mystruct2)
{
//your code
}


off the top of my head, i think this is right

Answer 2

Try:

struct { } MyStruct;

And why isn't MyStruct a class? Since you are using C++, you ought to be. Then you can overload the equal operator and implement the compare that way.
