1) you cannot change the const variable . 2) generally sizeof behaviour in case of structure is just undefined. Either it follows the summation of size of members or it uses padding concept ie in your example 4 byte each for character(1 byte for char rest of the 3 bytes is padded up) and 4 byte for integer .This is more efficient
