    I believe the answer for second question is the size of the pointer, it will never tell the size of reference object….

    Explanations can even be given better

  3. Question 2 answer is 4
    eg:
    sizeof(char) = 1 bytes
    sizeof(*char_ptr) = 1 bytes
    sizeof(char_ptr) = 4 bytes

  4. Question 2 : answer is sizeof(fptr) is 2
    Explanation: Because fptr is a pointer of float type variable

    fptr=&a;
    it means fptr stores an integer value(address can not be in floating point numbers) and to store an integer number 2 byte of space is required. Therefor size of fptr is of 2 bytes.

  5. question no:6 will give 5 as an answer
