the typedef keyword in c gives data type a new name

Answer 2

Answer:

Typedef is a keyword which is used to give an existing datatype a new name.

Explanation:

• typedef is used to redefine the name  of a exiting variable type .
• Consider the following statement  in which the type unsigned int is redefined to be of the type TWOWORDS:

                    typedef unsigned int TWOWORDS;

• Now we can declare variables of the type unsigned int by writing ,

                    TWOWORDS var1, var2;

      instead of

                      unsigned int var1, var2;
