Expression must have a pointer-to-object type error in an array

Question

#include <stdio.h>
#define DIM 10

typedef struct{
    int nelem; //amount of numbers in the array
    int vector[DIM];
}t_vector_int;

int main(){
    t_vector_int vect={5,{3, 23, 56, 109, 238}};
    int n, i=0;

    printf(" Vector inicial: 3, 23, 56, 109, 238\n\nIntroduzca un valor entero: ");
    scanf("%d", &n);
    while(vect[i] <= n){

    }

    return 0;
}

I get the error in line 15 while(vect[i] <= n){, I know it's because vect is defined as {5,{3, 23, 56, 109, 238}}but don't really know how to chech if n belongs to vect.

Answer 1

You need to use the member vector, not the structure variable itself.

Change

 while(vect[i] <= n)

to

while(vect.vector[i] <= n)
