Thread: C challenge: Hmmm...Real Challenging:)

Hi Folks,

Is there any way out to know the sizeof any DataTYPE without using "sizeof" operator.

My requirement is very simple.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int ReturnSize( // the Data Type argument to be passed, may be CHAR, INT, FLOAT, DOUBLE or even STRUCTURE)
{
       // Calculates the sizeof the argument WITHOUT using "SIZEOF" operator and returns the size

}


int main()
{   
      int size;
      size = ReturnSize( // Can be CHAR/INT/FLOAT/DOUBLE/STRUCTURE);
}
