A structure is a union in which each defined data type will have its own memory.
Where as in union the highest memory data type will be memory for entire union.Suppose if a float element is intialaised and an int element, the int will be first located on 2 bytes and then the next 2 bytes will be the float.

True or false: an appropriate use for a structure is to store a list of prices.

We can define structure bit field members with Dot operators.
EXAMPLE:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{ Struct bit_field
{ Int x.4; // it allocates only 4 bits to x
Char C.6; // it allocates only 6 bits to C;
};
return 0;
}

They are different. C struct can only contain data while C++ struct can contain functions and access limitation such as public, private etc just as a class (not totally the same as class!).
