quite a low level view required ......everything stored in memmory is in form of bits (i.e. a sequence of 01). It dependes upon how you are going to read a value. Same sequence of bits can give you different values..try printing x=10; printf("%c %d",x,x);
How do you get the previous value of x (5)? If you didn't store the value in another variable before overwriting it with 2, then you can't. The old value is overwritten and cannot be recovered. In a union, it's possible that you might overwrite only part of a previous value if you store a value to a smaller data type. For example:
union { long a; short b; } c;
c.a = 5;
c.b = 2;
It's possible that you can recover some of the old data of c.a, but for most practical purposes that value would be garbage (and it really depends on the exact alignment of the variables and byte endianness).
A union is an aggregate of members that share the same memory address. The size of a union is determined by the largest member.
The data members of a class are each allocated separate memory addresses. A union's members are all mapped to the same address. If you change the value of one union member, you change them all.
All union members are allocated the same memory address. The amount of memory allocated is determined by the largest member of the union. Only one value can be stored in a union. If we change the value of any one member, we change the value for all members. The member type determines how the current value is interpreted.
union is similar to structure .The distinction is in terms of storage. In structure each member has it own storage location but in union all the members use the same location. It can handle only one member at a time. example. union u { int a; char b[4]; }; A union may contain structure(s) and a structure may contain union(s). A structure (or an union) may contain unnamed unions (and structures), a useful feature and worth getting to know. Example: typedef union MYUNION { . struct { . . int x; . . int y; . } int_coord; . struct { . . double x; . . double y; . } dbl_coord; } MYUNION; It's a fragment of memory shared by multiple variables.
You declare a variable by first defining its data type and then its name followed by a semi-colon. Here is an example: int variable; The example above declares an uninitialized integer variable. You can initialize the variable by giving it a value such as "int variable = 1;". It is important to initialize your variables, because you can get errors when executing your program that the variable does not have a value or is uninitialized. Variables that are uninitialized have whatever garbage value happens to be when the program is executed. Here are all of the data types that a variable can be: *int - integer value *char - character value *bool - boolean value
