Hi,
I'm a student of Mechanical Engineering at IUT. I have the following
question:

What is the basic difference between Structure and Union?

Any reply will be appreciated.

The comp.lang.c Oracle has pondered your question deeply.

The question was:
> What is the basic difference between Structure and Union?

And thus spake the Oracle:

A structure is a type consisting of a sequence of members whose
storage is allocated in an ordered sequence, and a union is a type
consisting of a sequence of members whose storage overlap.

You owe the Oracle an explanation of why interviewers ask what
encapsulation means.
