@itsdannyftw Answer to the question "why don't we need to?" is that this is in the way -> operator is defined. When you have a pointer to structure you can access its members using -> operator. If you have the structure itself then you use . (dot) to access the members. Now you can also write something like (*pRect).length instead of rect->length and that will work too. Why? Because *pRect represents the structure itself, and hence you can access its members with a . (dot). Cool huh!

Are you sure when you parse a structure to a function it actually makes a COPY? Aren’t structures pass by reference?
