Help with struct

[Alien]

Hi,

I am fairly new to structs and learning how to use typedef. I did the following code where i created a struct called rectangle. I want to manipulate the variables within it. Here is my code:

struct rectangle
{
       int length, height;
};
 
typedef struct retangle rect;
 
int main()
{
   rect a;                     <--- LINE OF ERROR
   a.length = 5;
 
   printf("The length of rectangle is %d\n", a.length);
}
 

I get the error at the line above:

struct.c:12: error: storage size of 'a' isn't known

What am I doing wrong? Regards.

Sorry. I found out the error. It was a typo I didn't see for a while at line 6.

Problem resolved and it works.

Regards,
