    How can i find the size of a struct?

    i have a struct that include 2 points:
    A and B
    i need to make a function that gets a pointer of an array and return the biggest sum of A and B.
    The thing is that i don't know the size of the array.
    I tryed to write this:

    int SizeOfArr = sizeof(Arr)/sizeof(Num);

    But the size of Arr does not fit well because it is a pointer and not an array.

    So you have?
    Code:
    struct Point {
        int x,y;
    };
    struct Points {
        Point A,B;
    };
    
    int sumOfPoints(Points *arrayOfPointsWithNoSize) {
        // do stuff
    }
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
