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.

Bit fields main intention is to reduce the memory
consumption.
Syntax:

struct
{
int a:1;
/*whatever may be the size of the int(compiler dependent),
only one bit shall be allocated for variable 'a'*/
}BITFIELDS;

How can I do serial ("comm") port I/O?
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.
main() { char as[] = "\\0\0"; int i = 0; do{ switch( as[i++]) {case '\\' : printf("A"); break; case 0 : printf("B"); break; default : printf("C"); break; }} while(i<3); }
