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.

consumption.

int a:1;
/*whatever may be the size of the int(compiler dependent),
