Program 8

The C program demonstrates the difference between structures and unions. Structures allow multiple members to be stored independently, while unions share the same memory space for their members, meaning only one member can hold a value at any time. The program also prints the sizes of both the structure and the union.

8. Write a C program to differentiate between structures and union.

#include <stdio.h>
// Definition of Structure
struct Structure {
int a;
float b;
char c;
};
// Definition of Union
union Union {
int a;
float b;
char c;
};
int main() {
// Declaring structure and union variables
struct Structure s;
union Union u;
// Assigning values to structure members
s.a = 10;
s.b = 20.5;
s.c = 'X';

// Assigning values to union members


u.a = 10; // Assigning a value to the first member (int)
// u.b = 20.5; // If you uncomment this, it will overwrite 'u.a' due to shared memory space.
//u.c = 'Y'; // Assigning a value to the third member (char)

// Printing values of the structure


printf("Structure: \n");
printf("s.a = %d, s.b = %.2f, s.c = %c\n", s.a, s.b, s.c);

// Printing values of the union


printf("Union: \n");
printf("u.a = %d, u.b = %.2f, u.c = %c\n", u.a, u.b, u.c);

// Showing the size of structure and union


printf("\nSize of Structure: %lu bytes\n", sizeof(s));
printf("Size of Union: %lu bytes\n", sizeof(u));

return 0;
}
