If a structure contains a slack byte, it's called an Imbalanced Structure. Word alignment is required to covert imbalanced structure into balanced structure. A structure cannot be nested within the same structure, unless the nested structure is a pointer, i.e., self-referential structure. Structures are used for data encapsulation, memory links and bit-fields. Two structure variables cannot be compared. One structure variable can be assigned to another structure variable, if both belong to the same structure. Bit Field is a unique feature in C which can be applied to a structure for memory optimization. Each data member of a structure begins at different places. Bit Field range must be between 1 and the size of its data member. Bit Field is not allowed for float data members. Union provides a way to share common memory in different ways. karan1311 | August 17, 2015 at 5:34 pm | Tags: c, programming | Categories: C Tricks | URL: http://wp.me/p5JOdg-as Comment    See all comments    Like Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Encapsulate {Ideas}.
