EXPECTED I/P AND O/P & ORIGINAL OUTPUT:

Size of structure : 40
Size of union : 32
VIVA VOCE QUESTIONS:
1. When we need structures?
Ans: Structures are used when we want to process data that may be of multiple data
types.
2. How structure members called
Ans: Structures have members in the form:
structurename.membername.
3. What is nested structure?
Ans: When a structure is a member of another structure it is called a nested structure.
4. What is Structure of Arrays ?
Ans: We can define structures of arrays or arrays of structures based on the members
which are referred with using dot notations.
5. What is a UNION?
Ans: In a union, the different members share the same memory location.
6. What about memoery size in Union ?
Ans: The total memory allocated to the union is equal to the maximum size of the
member
