Size of int vs. pointer

hanees, on Friday May 2, 2008 12:35:13 PM

Hello,

Quick question, as far as it goes in C++, what are the sizes of (i.e. bits, or bytes) of ints, and pointers? Specifically which is larger?

Thanks.

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello

In C/C++...
A byte is at least 8 bits.
char is exactly 1 byte
short is at least 16 bits.
int is at least 16 bits.
long is at least 32 bits.
Also: short <= int <= long.
Finally: sizeof(int) == sizeof(unsigned int).

A pointer's size is determined by the platform, and has no guaranteed size. Therefore, my answer is, Both and neither.
