What will be the output of the program? #include int main() { char str[] = "India\0CURIOUSTAB\0"; printf("%d\n", sizeof(str)); return 0; }

Correct Answer: 11

Explanation:

The following examples may help you understand this problem:


1. sizeof("") returns 1 (1*).


2. sizeof("India") returns 6 (5 + 1*).


3. sizeof("CURIOUSTAB") returns 4 (3 + 1*).


4. sizeof("India\0CURIOUSTAB") returns 10 (5 + 1 + 3 + 1*).
    Here '\0' is considered as 1 char by sizeof() function.


5. sizeof("India\0CURIOUSTAB\0") returns 11 (5 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 1*).
    Here '\0' is considered as 1 char by sizeof() function.
