What are bit fields? What is their use?..

Answer / ravi joshi

Bit fields can only be declared inside a structure or a
union, and allow you to specify some very small objects of a
given number of bits in length. Their usefulness is limited
and they aren't seen in many programs, but we'll deal with
them anyway.

using only #include <stdio.h> and #include <stdlib.h> Write a program in C that will read an input from the user and print it back to the user if it is a palindrome. The string ends when it encounters a whitespace. The input string is at most 30 characters. Assume the string has no spaces and distinguish between and lowercase. So madam is a palindrome, but MadAm is not a palindrome. Use scanf and %s to read the string. Sample Test: Enter a string: madam madam is a palindrome. Enter a string: 09023 09023 is not a palindrome.
