Answer / triveni
ARRAY:- array includes same type of data types.
we dont use any keyword while defining array.
array always passed/called by reference to function.
we cant copy one array to another even though both arrays
ae of same type.
it is fixed in size.
structure:-array includes same or differnt data type
elements .
we use struct keyword while definings structure.
by default structure passed/called by value to function.
we cant copy one structure to another if both are of same
struct type and having different variabe names.
it is not fixed in size.
