Question

Bit fields and Bit arrays are same.

(a) True

(b) False

My question is based upon Bit Array topic in division Arrays Types of Data Structures & Algorithms I

The question was posed to me in an interview for internship.

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

Explanation: Bit field contains the number of adjacent computer locations used to store the sequence of bits to address a bit or groups of bits. Bit array is an array that stores combinations of bit 0 and bit 1. Thus, bit fields and Bit arrays are different.
