C - SizeOf Pointers

Question

char c[] = {\'a\',\'b\',\'c\'};
int* p = &c[0];
printf(\"%i\\n\", sizeof(*p)); //Prints out 4
printf(\"%i\\n\", sizeof(*c)); //Prints out 1

I a

Answer 1

Because p is of type int *, so *p is of type int, which is apparently 4 bytes wide on your implementation.

And use %zu for printing size_t (what sizeof yields) if you don't want your program to invoke undefined behavior.
