How to assign fields of a struct from scanning stdin? - c

Question

I want the program to extract data from the user through the console, by scanning stdin with the scanf() and fgets() and assign the values to named structs, to eventually print them out.
Right the following code is not working. The problem is the code does not recognize the scanned input and the array corona and fails to assign it into that array at index "0".
Here's the code.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct {
char name[100];
char phone[100];
} Person;
typedef struct {
char location[100];
char time[100];
} Event;
typedef struct {
Person person;
Event event;
} Corona;
int main() {
/*help variables*/
char* name2;
char* number2;
char* location2;
char* date2;
Corona corona[28]; //creating list with 28 objects just because. it could be 5 or x too.
printf("Name");
fgets(name2, 50, stdin); //user input for name
printf("Nummer/location/date");
scanf("%s %s %s", number2, location2, date2); //user input for phone number, location and date
corona[0]= *(Corona*)malloc(sizeof (Corona)); //allocating memory for array
corona[0]={{("%s",name2),("%s", number2)}, {("%s", location2),("%s", date2)}};
/*printing out the information of array "corona" with index 0"*/
printf("Name: %s\n", corona[0].person.name);
printf("Phone: %s\n", corona[0].person.phone);
printf("Location: %s\n", corona[0].event.location);
printf("Time: %s\n", corona[0].event.time);
return 0;
}

Answer 1

lets fix one part of this and see if you can fix the rest
printf("Nummer/location/date");
scanf("%s %s %s", corona[0].person.phone,
corona[0].event.location,
corona[0].event.time);
no need for any mallocs, fancy casts or whatever that assignment line is tryong to do
ie these lines
corona[0]= *(Corona*)malloc(sizeof (Corona)); //allocating memory for array
corona[0]={{("%s",name2),("%s", number2)}, {("%s", location2),("%s", date2)}};
