Memory and the Hippocampus

💡 C Programming Memory Optimization – Data Alignment ✅ The Hidden Problem: Struct Padding (Invisible Memory Waste) Modern computer processors read memory in fixed blocks (commonly 4 or 8 bytes). When variables inside a structure are not properly ordered, the compiler automatically inserts padding bytes to maintain correct data alignment. For example: If a 1-byte variable (char) is placed before a 4-byte variable (int), the processor inserts empty padding space so the integer starts at a properl
