[algogeeks] Structural Padding in C

I need some help in understanding how padding works ?? Please answer the following questions with proper explanations.. struct mystruct1 { char a; int b; short c; long d; }; struct mystruct2 { char a; short b; char c; long d; }; What's the sizeof above 2 structures and why ??
