hello Vic,thank you for your comments
now i understand that the last element of an array could not be always used but
considering our friend's (brian's) problem could we create an array of integer
of size 3 i.e. uchar y[2]; then i hope it will work on all the systems. could
you all give ur comments on that
with regards
Anup

unsigned char y[1] only has a valid subscript of 0
whether your solution works will depend on whether you're on a big or
little endian system
