C Programming: sizeof variable types

Posted by Mohammed in C, Linux on February 5, 2010 | one response

As you know C programming language has different variable types and each of them use different byte size. Do you wonder how to find size of each variable type in C? Look at the program below.

Program:

int main()
{
  printf("sizeof(char) == %d\n", sizeof(char));
  printf("sizeof(short) == %d\n", sizeof(short));
  printf("sizeof(int) == %d\n", sizeof(int));
  printf("sizeof(long) == %d\n", sizeof(long));
  printf("sizeof(long long) == %d\n", sizeof(long long));

  return 0;
}

Output:

sizeof(char) == 1
sizeof(short) == 2
sizeof(int) == 4
sizeof(long) == 4
sizeof(long long) == 8
