sizeof() is evaluated at runtime for variable length arrays (introduced in C99) but that's the one and only exception. Most other cases it's a compile-time operator and the operand is not evaluated at all, which is you why you can get the size of members from a struct through a null pointer dereference (which would not be possible if the operand was evaluated). Example: #define MEMB_SIZEOF(type, memb) (sizeof(((type *)0)->memb))

It returns number of bytes allocated for the datatype

It is the really heavily overloaded operator of C which calculates the total size of an identifier in 'bytes'. Each Identifier in C has it's own memory allocation scheme and this operator returns the size of this memory allocation for each scheme, static or dynamic. Remember : It is a heavily overloaded operator in C and hence is also immutable. Operator Overloading is not exclusive to Object Oriented Paradigm. Functional Paradigm also supports Operator Overloading.
