✅ Struct Fields

Is there a reason to mask two values into a single field on a struct, e.g. if I want a

struct MyValue

struct MyValue

with fields

ushort A

ushort A

and

ushort B

ushort B

, is there any value in having the struct internally store the value as

uint _c

uint _c

? I formerly thought since this was one field it was better because everyone says to generally not use a struct with a lot of fields, but based on some reading I have done it seems that maybe this is treated in memory the same way since those two ushort fields are side-by-side and effectively storing two ushort fields would be no different except that I wouldn't have to manually unmask

and

from

_c

_c

in my getters.
