What will be the output of the program? #include int main() { float arr[] = {12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7}; printf("%d\n", sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])); return 0; }

Correct Answer: 4

Explanation:

The sizeof function return the given variable. Example: float a=10; sizeof(a) is 4 bytes


Step 1: float arr[] = {12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7}; The variable arr is declared as an floating point array and it is initialized with the values.


Step 2: printf("%d\n", sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]));


The variable arr has 4 elements. The size of the float variable is 4 bytes.


Hence 4 elements x 4 bytes = 16 bytes


sizeof(arr[0]) is 4 bytes


Hence 16/4 is 4 bytes


Hence the output of the program is '4'.
