What is the size of int in C?
The minimum size for char is 8 bits, the minimum size for short and int is 16 bits, for long it is 32 bits and long long must contain at least 64 bits.
What is size of structure in C?
A) C structure is always 128 bytes.
Why are integers 4 bytes?
So the reason why you are seeing an int as 4 bytes (32 bits), is because the code is compiled to be executed efficiently by a 32-bit CPU. If the same code were compiled for a 16-bit CPU the int may be 16 bits, and on a 64-bit CPU it may be 64 bits.
What’s the difference between an enum and an array?
In the former case the main difference is that an array is a value and an enum is a type. In the latter case the main difference is that an array is a collection of other values (that is it contains other values, you can iterate through them or access individual ones by index), whereas an enum value is simply one atomic value.
When to use enum?
You should always use enums when a variable (especially a method parameter) can only take one out of a small set of possible values. Examples would be things like type constants (contract status: “permanent”, “temp”, “apprentice”), or flags (“execute now”, “defer execution”).
Why would you use an enum?
