size of a datatype without using sizeof

Question

I have a data type, say X, and I want to know its size without declaring a variable or pointer of that type and of course without using sizeof oper

Answer 1

    main()    
    {
    clrscr();
    int n;
    float x,*a,*b;//line 1
    a=&x;
    b=(a+1);
    printf("size of x is %d",
    n=(char*)(b)-(char*)a);
    }

By this code script the size of any data can be calculated without sizeof operator.Just change the float in line 1 with the type whose size you want to calculate
