Quiz Practice:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 10;
int *p = &x;
```
printf("%d %d", sizeof(x), sizeof(p));
return 0;
```
}
B. 4 8
Correct Answer: 4 8 assuming a typical 64-bit system.
sizeof(x) gives the size of an integer. Under the assumption used in the question, this is 4 bytes.
sizeof(p) gives the size of the pointer variable itself, not the size of the integer to which it points.
On a typical 64-bit system, a pointer occupies 8 bytes. Therefore, the output is 4 8.
Important: Pointer size is implementation-dependent. BPSC questions normally provide the required assumption when the exact size matters.
