In Chapter 22, you learned how to obtain an address for a chunk of memory allocated at run time:
(struct trade*) malloc (sizeof (struct trade))
Such an expression is a load to remember. Worse yet, you need to assign the address of the allocated chunk of memory to a pointer, and you have to assign the structure variables appropriately:
trade_pointers[limit] = (struct trade*) malloc (sizeof (struct trade)); trade_pointers[limit] -> price = price; trade_pointers[limit] -> number = number;
Such allocation and assignment combinations are cumbersome and ugly.
