> **4.** Suppose that the following declarations are in effect:
```c
struct point {int x, y; };
struct rectangle { struct point upper_left, lower_right; };
struct rectangle *p;
```
> Assume that we want `p` to point to a rectangle structure whose upper left corner is at $(10, 25)$, and whose lower right corner is at $(20, 15)$. Write a series of statements that allocate such a structure and initialize it as indicated.

```c
struct rectangle rect = { { 10, 25 }, { 20, 15 } };
p = ▭
```

---

> **5.** Suppose that `f` and `p` are declared as follows:
```c
struct {
	union {
		char a, b;
		int c;
	} d;
	int e[5];
} f, *p = &f;
```
> Which of the following statements are legal?

(a) `p->b = ' ';`
(b) `p->e[3] = 10;`
(c) `(*p).d.a = '*';`
(d) `p->d->c = 20;`
