Question

How can I fix this?

/*
This function initialises each field of one playet_t struct.
Inputs:
  player_p - memory location of the player_t variable. player_p must have been
    allocated memory using allocate_memory before calling this function.
  nplayers - number of players that memory needs to be allocated for
Post:
  After the function has been called, the age field of *player_p will be the
  input age, and wickets field of *player_p will be the input wickets.
*/

void init_player(player_t* player_p, int age, int wickets)
{  
player_p = ( player_t * )malloc( sizeof(player_p) );

player_p->age = age;

player_p->wickets = wickets;

}

Explanation / Answer

You need to call this function after you have allocated memory for player_t variable using allocate_memory() function. This function should not allocate memory again as it has been already allocated using allocate_memory() function. You just need to initialize values to player_p.

/*****DO NOT ALLOCATE MEMORY AGAIN AS IT HAS BEEN ALREADY ALLOCATED by allocate_memory()****/
