Discussion Forum : Declarations and Initializations - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 10)
10.
What is the output of the program?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
union a
{
int i;
char ch[2];
};
union a u;
u.ch[0] = 3;
u.ch[1] = 2;
printf("%d, %d, %d\n", u.ch[0], u.ch[1], u.i);
return 0;
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
printf("%d, %d, %d\n", u.ch[0], u.ch[1], u.i); It prints the value of u.ch[0] = 3, u.ch[1] = 2 and it prints the value of u.i means the value of entire union size.
So the output is 3, 2, 515.

I read all question and answer but still I can't get answer of why union share common memory to all data elements.

union a u;
printf("%d, %d, %d\n", u.ch[0], u.ch[1], u.i);
Can anyone explain these both lines?
printf("%d, %d, %d\n", u.ch[0], u.ch[1], u.i);
Can anyone explain these both lines?

I confused that why we have to calculate the size of the union for i. Why it is not 0 like in structure?

Every time I run the program, it didn't give 515 for me. It's giving some garbage value. Please help me.

Please check by running the same program with c compiler, the Garbage value will be printed for i.

Why we find the size of the union in coding doesn't mention about size only the variable value?

Why we are assigning the 515 to the int i?
Why 'i' is not having any other value(like 0 or 1)?
Why 'i' is not having any other value(like 0 or 1)?

Why u. i prints the size of the Union in the first place?
Can anyone answer it? please.
