Thank you pshaikh. it exactly gives the sizeof the structure. While executing your first sample piece of code... it is mostly &begin is greater than &end. Here all the local variables begin, end and array[100] gets stored in the stack. When you subtract the begin address and end address and divide it by the sizeof the array it gives the sizeof structure.
But if i try to subtract address of say &array[1] - &array[0] doesn't give the sizeof the array instead it gives 1 always. I just tried printing &array[1] and &array[0] which gives the address. When we subtract the address of begin and end variable it gives the number of bytes occupied between those two and why not in &array[1] - &array[0]. Kindly clarify.
Thanks

we know that sizeof never returns zero when used with structure
then why in this case it is returning zero
struct foo
{
char c;
};

{
struct foo f;
cout<<sizeof(f);

Hi,
There are some bewildering sizeof() questions I have in my mind. Could anyone shed some light on this?
int main() {
printf("%d\n", sizeof(main)); // Ans: 1
}
That is, the sizeof() a function identifier though it is treated internally as a pointer gives 1 byte always, why?
