s9(4) ---- 2bytes(COM)
s9(4) ---- 3bytes(COM-3)

Answer / rekha

comp | comp-3

___________________________|__________________________________1>it
will store the data | it will store the data in PACKED in
BINARY FORMAT | DECIMAL FORMAT
2>s9(1)-s9(4) --> 2byts | s9(n)
s9(5)-s9(9) --> 4bytes | if n --> even occupies (n/2)+1b
s9(10-s9(18) -->8bytes | if n --> odd occupies (n+1)/2b
3> it will occupies the | it will occupy less memory
memory based on the range |
____________________________________________________________ex
- s9(4) occupies 2bytes for comp
s9(4) occupies 3bytes for comp-3
