simple c code

gistfile1.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct {
	char name[10];
} Person;

int main() {
	// initialize to empty
	Person* p = NULL;

	// check if empty do memory allocated
	if (!p) {
		p = (Person*) malloc(sizeof(Person));
	}

	// set the name
	strcpy(p->name, "yarco"); // the meaning is the same as `p->name = "yarco"`

	printf("I'm %s\n", p->name);

	// free memery
	free(p);
	return 0;
}

If remove types and memory management, the code is much more like this:

var p = null;
p.name = 'yarco';

in my mind...
