int main()
{
clrscr();
marks m={2,12,5};
cout<<m.a<<m.b<<m.c;
getch();
return(0);
}o/p is 2-41
i got how 2 and 1 came but didnt get how -4 came.
according to me it should have been
binary for 12=1100
b can store 3 bits so it should have been 4.

Keep in mind that these bit fields are by default signed. If you have 3 bits, and you load in 1100, then that is 4 with a sign bit which gives -4. If you declare b as unsigned, then it comes out as 4. The same with c, if you assign that 6 instead of 5, then you get -2. Apparently, the sign bit is not included in the number of bits declared for the bit field.
