Padding is actually a compiler optimization technique, which
fill up the area between to member to make multiples of 4
bytes (32 bits). Only combination chars/ shorts int/ both ca
e able to create a 32 bytes. Compiler actually will skip to
check the size the variable and fetch the whole 4 bytes in
data fetch operation. this will provide the aligned data to
MP in Single CPU cycle.
There is a Pragma directive, which override the compiler and
results the structure size with equal to size of variables.

Example:

Struct item {
int item;
char type;
};

Sizeof (struct item) = 8 bytes

Struct item {
int item;
char type[2];
short int value;
};
Sizeof (struct item) = 8 bytes

Struct item {
int item;
char type[3];
short int value;
};
Sizeof (struct item) = 12 bytes
one byte padded after "type" and 2 byes padded after value.



Bit-Wise: As far as I remember, it maintains a ARRAY of
int/char/bits equal to the number of elements defined inside
. The bit sets if some data is initialized with some value.
I am not sure on this.

Write an implementation of “float stringToFloat(char *str).” The code should be simple, and not require more than the basic operators (if, for, math operators, etc.). • Assumptions • Don’t worry about overflow or underflow • Stop at the 1st invalid character and return the number you have converted till then, if the 1st character is invalid return 0 • Don’t worry about exponential (e.g. 1e10), instead you should treat ‘e’ as an invalid character • Write it like real code, e.g. do error checking • Go though the string only once • Examples • “1.23” should return 1.23 • “1a” should return 1 • “a”should return 0
