Difference between size_t and unsigned int?

by

if it is use to represent non negative value so why we not using unsigned int instead of size_t

Because unsigned int is not the only unsigned integer type. size_t could be any of unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long or unsigned long long, depending on the implementation.

Second question is that size_t and unsigned int are interchangeable or not and if not then why?

They aren’t interchangeable, for the reason explained above ^^.

And can anyone give me a good example of size_t and its brief working ?

I don’t quite get what you mean by “its brief working”. It works like any other unsigned type (in particular, like the type it’s typedeffed to). You are encouraged to use size_t when you are describing the size of an object. In particular, the sizeof operator and various standard library functions, such as strlen(), return size_t.

Bonus: here’s a good article about size_t (and the closely related ptrdiff_t type). It reasons very well why you should use it.
