structure is to declare different data types at a time,where as a arra y is a group of related data typesthe main difference b/w structure & union is in memory requirement.In structure s memory is sum of all the datatypes declared in it,where as in union memory is the one which holds the highest bytes.struct{ int i;float g;};here memory req is 2+4=6union{int i;float g;};here memory req is only 4 bytes
