C Program to Find the Size of int, float, double and char

To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the following C programming topics:


The sizeof(variable) operator computes the size of a variable. And, to print the result returned by sizeof, we use either %lu or %zu format specifier.

Program to Find the Size of Variables

Output

Size of int: 4 bytes
Size of float: 4 bytes
Size of double: 8 bytes
Size of char: 1 byte

In this program, 4 variables intType, floatType, doubleType and charType are declared.

Then, the size of each variable is computed using the sizeof operator.
