Differentiate between structure and union?
| Structure | Union |
| Structure stores each member in a sequence of order in the memory. | Union stores members in overlapping memory where starting |
 |
|
| structure has a size which is sum of individual member | union has has the same size as the maximum size of an member |
|
Syntax: struct <name> { <type> <member name 1>; <type> <member name 2>; ... <type> <<member name N>; }; |
Syntax: union <name> { <type> <member name 1>; <type> <member name 2>; ... <type> <member name N>; }; |
| Individual member of structure can be accessed independently and writing a new value will not affect other members. | Individual member of union cannot be accessed independently, modifying a member can result in modifing the values of other members |
