Predict the output or error(s) for the following


Predict the output or error(s) for the following

main()
{
char *p;
printf("%d %d ",sizeof(*p),sizeof(p));
}
Answer:



1 2
Explanation:
The sizeof() operator gives the number of bytes taken by its operand. P is a
character pointer, which needs one byte for storing its value (a character). Hence
sizeof(*p) gives a value of 1. Since it needs two bytes to store the address of the
character pointer sizeof(p) gives 2.
