enum state { dis =0, enable=8 }sta;
struct SS {
enum state *poin;
}ss;
 
 
main()
{
struct SS *str;
str=&ss;
printf("%d",(str->poin));
}
 

how to access the enum variable through "str "

Does that not work? What errors are you getting?

And PS - you are a member now, you should be using code tags around all of your code.

They are

[CODE=cpp] and [/code] with [CODE=cpp] before the start of your code and [/code] after the end. And, if you are using c, replace cpp with c. Thanks

how do I find the value of the next enum
.

is there any other method ??

An enum is a list of named integer values. It is not an array of variables.

You use:

state  var = enable;
//instead of:
state var = 8;
 

If you display var you will see 8.

Therefore, in your struct SS you need to put the address of a state variable in the poin member:

SS str;
  state  var = enable;
  str.poin = &var;

There are a couple of C style syntax's in the C++ program.

In C you need to use the struct and enum in the declaration of objects. In C++ you don't need this anymore. For example,

struct SS * ssPtr;            /*  C Style */
enum state newState;
 
SS  * ssPtr;          // C++ Style
state newState;

Both will work in C++, but the C++ style is more common.
