Q5

Determine Output: void main() char *p; printf("%d %d", sizeof(*p), sizeof(p));

A.
1 1
B.
1 2
Answer
C.
2 1
D.
2 2

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:

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.
