Q2. What is structure padding and how to pack a structure
Ans. 
Structure padding is adding empty bytes to align data in memory. Packing a structure removes padding to save memory.
• Structure padding ensures that data members are aligned to memory boundaries for efficient access

• Padding bytes are added between data members to ensure alignment

• Packing a structure removes padding to save memory but may impact performance

• Example: struct example { char a; int b; } - sizeof(struct example)

Q2. How to set the priority of a task
Ans. 
Task priority can be set using priority levels or scheduling algorithms in firmware development.
