Hi !

struct A {

int a : 1;
int b : 2;
char c : 3;
};

Could anybody explain what numbers do with filds of the struct ?

Thanks a lot.

They make them bitfields. a is one bit, b is two bits, c is three bits
long.

Scroll down to "What is a bitfield?"

Please use your C or C++ textbook to look up this construct.
