Structure elements in C are stored in memory contiguously based on the order in which they are declared in the structure definition. The elements are typically aligned to memory addresses that are multiples of their size to optimize access speed. The size of the structure is determined by the sum of the sizes of its individual elements, possibly with padding to ensure proper alignment.

What is the difference between struct and union in c file management?

The main difference is in how the data structures are stored. In a union, all of the elements are stored in one location. A structure stores each of its elements in a separate memory location.

How 'free' works in c language if you want to free a structure whose elements are itself pointers?

Assuming that the structure you want to free points to OTHER structures that have been malloc'ed, you need to free any malloc'ed elements that are pointeed to by the elements in your structure. Doing otherwise will result in a memory leak. As you free the elements of the structure, make sure that the pointers are NULL, then you should be able to free the structure. If you're doing all this in a UNIX like environment, all memory structures will be freed when the application ends. If you're doing it in a Windows environment, all bets are off.

What is the maximum map size that can be handled in C?

In C, the maximum map size that can be handled depends on the system's memory capacity, but it is typically limited to around 231 - 1 elements due to the constraints of the data structure used to implement the map.

Where does global variables stored in C?

It depends entirely on what platform you are using. In an embedded environment, for instance global/static variables go into different RAM memory segments depending on whether or not they are initialised. constants are often left in ROM automatic variables are normally placed of the stack of the currently running task but not always.
