This is more of a conceptual question.
We know that multibyte data must be aligned on a
natural boundary.That is four byte dta on a four byte
boundary and two byte data on two byte boundary and so
forth.But what is the reason behind this.CAn anyone
please explain.What will be the problem if the data is
not aligned???
