A structure in programming allocates separate memory for each of its members, while a union uses the same memory location for all its members.
Structure vs. Union

Key Differences

In programming, a structure is a data type that allows the storage of different data types under one name. Each member within a structure has its own memory location. A union, on the other hand, also stores different data types but uses a single shared memory location for all its members, storing only one member at a time.

The size of a structure is determined by the total sum of the sizes of its members. It represents the total memory required to store all members. In contrast, the size of a union is determined by the size of its largest member, as it can only hold one member at a time in the shared memory space.

When a structure is used, accessing each member is independent of the others as each has a unique memory location. This allows for different members to be accessed and modified simultaneously. In a union, since all members share the same memory location, modifying one member can alter the values of others.

Structures are typically used when storing multiple distinct data items that need to be accessed independently, such as different attributes of an object. Unions are useful in situations where only one of several data items is required at a time, allowing for memory-efficient storage.

In summary, structures offer a way to group different data types with independent memory allocations for each member, providing flexibility and independent access. Unions, while similar in syntax, focus on memory efficiency by overlapping the storage of its members, suitable for specialized use cases where only one member is used at a time.
