What is the difference b/w Structure & Union?

Answer Posted / nakul sharma

Memory allocated for any structure is equal to the sum of
memory required by each structure member.

Example: In a structure 'abc' below, memory allocated will
be 7 Bytes (2 Bytes for int a + 1 Byte for char b + 4 Bytes
for float c ina 32 bit processor)
struct abc
{
int a;
char b;
float c;
}

But in union memory allocated for it is equal to the memory
required by the biggest (in terms of memory it use) union
member.

Example: In a union 'abc' below, memory allocated will be 4
Bytes as float c is the biggest union member here and it
uses 4 Bytes of memory in 32 bit processor.

union abc
{
int a;
char b;
float c;
}

You have given 2 array. You need to find whether they will create the same BST or not. For example: Array1:10 5 20 15 30 Array2:10 20 15 30 5 Result: True Array1:10 5 20 15 30 Array2:10 15 20 30 5 Result: False One Approach is Pretty Clear by creating BST O(nlogn) then checking two tree for identical O(N) overall O(nlogn) ..we need there exist O(N) Time & O(1) Space also without extra space .Algorithm ?? DevoCoder guest Posted 3 months ago # #define true 1 #define false 0 int check(int a1[],int a2[],int n1,int n2) { int i; //n1 size of array a1[] and n2 size of a2[] if(n1!=n2) return false; //n1 and n2 must be same for(i=0;ia1[i+1]) && (a2[i]>a2[i+1]) ) ) return false; } return true;//assumed that each array doesn't contain duplicate elements in themshelves }
