    1. What will be output of following C code? Explain your answer.

int main() {
  struct employee
  {
    unsigned int id = 8;
    unsigned int sex = 1;
    unsigned int age = 7;
  };
  struct employee emp1={203,1,23};
  clrscr();
  printf("%d\t%d\t%d",emp1.id,emp1.sex,emp1.age);
  getch();
}
	The output of this code will print employee 1's id as 203, his sex as 1, and his age as 23.

    2. How are structures and enumerations similar and different? Give an example of when you would use each.

	Structures and enumerations are similar in that they let you define new data types. However, structures use all the memory of its members.
	A structure has a separate memory location for each of its elements and they can all be used at once. 
	Enumerations, on the other hand, are types of data where every possible value is defined as a symbolic constant.
	Enumerations do not have members. Structures do not define lists of constants. A structure can contain enumerations, but an enumeration cannot contain structures. 
	Enumerations help in writing clear code and simplify programming whereas structures can be more complex. 

    3. Explain the difference between passing an array directly to a function versus passing a structure containing an array?
	Passing an array directly to a function passes the array to the function by reference meaning anything in the function that changes the array changes it permanently.
	Passing a structure containing an array changes it by value. It makes a copy of all the values in the array so that whenever a value changes, it doesn't change the values of the original.
