Bit fields CANNOT be used in union.

The following is the example program to explain "using bit fields inside an union".

#include<stdio.h>

union Point
{
  unsigned int x:4;
  unsigned int y:4;
  int res;
};

int main()
{
   union  Point pt;

   pt.x = 2;
   pt.y = 3;
   pt.res = pt.y;

   printf("\n The value of res = %d" , pt.res);

   return 0;
}
// Output: The value of res = 3
