Why write `sizeof(char)` if char is 1 by standard?

Question

I was doing some C coding and after reading some C code I\'ve noticed that there are code snippets like

char *foo = (char *)malloc(sizeof(char) * someDynamicAmo         


        

Answer 1

Compare:

float*baz = malloc(sizeof(float) * someDynamicAmount);
int  *bar = malloc(sizeof(int)   * someDynamicAmount);
char *foo = malloc(sizeof(char)  * someDynamicAmount);

Vs:

float*baz = malloc(sizeof(float) * someDynamicAmount);
int  *bar = malloc(sizeof(int)   * someDynamicAmount);
char *foo = malloc(someDynamicAmount);

I like the first version. Do you prefer the second?
