thank you all of you for your responses but i still cant get one thing, i was
successfully able to compile my recent code on gcc v3.42 also, here is the code
again:
=====
#include <stdio.h>
union vals {
unsigned short x;
unsigned char y[2];
} myvals;
int main() {
myvals.y[0] = 1; //lsb
myvals.y[1] = 21; //msb
printf("%d", myvals.x);
printf("\n %d", sizeof(myvals));
}
compiled using command: gcc union.c -o myunion.exe
====
and output again is
5377
2
=====
so according to Vic i havent solved the endian problem but i cant understand
where the problem actually is in this code ???
second thing is the sizeof union shows up to be 2 but i was expecting it to be
3 (i thought the array is of 3 bytes though it may contain only two elements)
because i changed the array from uchar y[1](sizeof gave 2) to uchar y[2](size
2 again)!!!! why does this happen???
and now if union is the feature of c itself why cant i use it to solve brians
problem???
my questions might be silly becoz im a newbie hence i have turned up to you
gurus for clarifying my doubts. thanks for patiently responding me
with regards
anup
