typedef in c++

syntax :

typedef <current_name> <new_name>

example:

typedef struct {
	int SqBiTNode[MAX_SIZE];
	int ElemNum;

}SqBiTree;

The code first declares a struct with no name, and a typedef alias for that struct. The alias name is just SqBiTree!

There is an error i got in code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#define MAX_SIZE 100

typedef struct {
	int SqBiTNode[MAX_SIZE];
	int ElemNum;

}SqBiTree;

~~struct~~  SqBiTree* createTree(int array[], int N)
{
	SqBiTree* tree = (SqBiTree*)malloc(sizeof(~~SqBiTree~~ ));

}

int main()
{
	int array[] = {40, 25, 60,-1, 30,-1, 80, -1, -1, 27};
	int N = sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]);
	
}

i got error “incomplete type is not allowed”

after i deleted struct keyword, it works well.
