Demonstrate sizeof.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char ch;
int i;
cout << sizeof ch << " "; // size of char
cout << sizeof i << " "; // size of int
cout << sizeof (float) << " "; // size of float
cout << sizeof (double) << " "; // size of double
return 0;
}1 4 4 8
Object sizes
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
class Box {
public:
Box() :length(1.0), width(1.0), height(1.0), pMaterial("new") {}
int totalSize() {
return sizeof(length) + sizeof(width) + sizeof(height) + sizeof(pMaterial
);
}
private:
char* pMaterial;
double length;
double width;
double height;
};
int main() {
Box box;
Box boxes[10];
cout << endl << "The data members of a Box object occupy "
<< box.totalSize() << " bytes.";
cout << endl << "A single Box object occupies "
<< sizeof (Box) << " bytes.";
cout << endl << "An array of 10 Box objects occupies "
<< sizeof(boxes) << " bytes."
<< endl;
return 0;
}The data members of a Box object occupy 28 bytes.
A single Box object occupies 32 bytes.
An array of 10 Box objects occupies 320 bytes.

#include <iostream>

sizeof a union
#include<iostream.h>
union u_tag{
int i;
double d;
}u={88};
struct s_tag{
int i;
double d;
}s={66,1.234};

cout<<"s.d="<<s.d<<endl;

}sizeof(union u_tag)=8
u.i=100
u.d=1.2345
sizeof(u.d)=8

Use sizeof operator on an array name: returns the number of bytes in the array
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
int main()
{
double array[ 20 ];
cout << "The number of bytes in the array is " << sizeof( array );
return 0;
}The number of bytes in the array is 160
Using the sizeof operator for base class and derived class
#include <iostream>
#include <ostream>
class base {};
class derived : public base {};
int main()
{
using namespace std;
cout << sizeof(base) << "\n";
cout << sizeof(derived) << "\n";
base b[3];
cout << sizeof(b) << "\n";
derived d[5];
cout << sizeof(d) << "\n";
