sizeof

Hi,

What is the difference between sizeof(3.0) and sizeof(3.0f)

I was expecting both of them to give the same result (sizeof float)..but its different.

In 32 bit machine,gcc compiler, sizeof(3.0f) =>4 sizeof(3.0) => 8

Why so?

When declaring a const table, it is possible to get the size of the table using sizeof. However, once you stop using the symbol name, it does not work anymore. is there a way to have the following program output the correct size for table A, instead of 0 ? #include <stdio.h> struct mystruct… >>> More

I am having a hard time in manipulating strings while writing module for linux. My problem is that I have a int Array[10] with different values in it. I need to produce a string to be able send to the buffer in my_read procedure. If my array is {0,1,112,20,4,0,0,0,0,0} then my output should be: 0:(0) 1:-(1) 2:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(112) 3:--------------------(20) 4:----(4) 5:(0) 6:(0) 7:(0) 8:(0) 9:(0) when… >>> More
