Is it possible to create a data type of length one bit in C

Question

Esentially I want to create a data type uint1_t. Is that even possible?

I know the size of the bool data type is one byte. But boolean values only need

Answer 1

No this is not possible, uint8_t is the smallest data type. Within struct you could use bit fields, besides that not possible to have a data type of just 1 bit.

Answer 2

Yes you can create a one bit variable suppose int a:1; You can just assign value to it but cannot scanf it.
