just wondering what is the point of this function "size_t"
does the program below do the same thing as size_t?
Code:int x; x=sizeof(char); printf("%d",x);------------------------Code:size_t x=sizeof(char); printf("%d",x)
also, what does this syntax mean?
total=total<4 ? 4U:total;

size_t is not a function, it's a typedef of an unsigned integer datatype.
sizeof is a compile-time operator that gives you the size of the datatype passed.
The ?: construct is called the ternary operator. It's equivalent to
Code:if (total < 4) { total = 4U; } else { total = total; }
