? 2 or 4

Answer 2

Malik Hamza Nawaz
Based on what you wrote with no real explanation I'm going to say 2

Answer 3

Malik Hamza Nawaz Then my previous answer should be 4 and Ipang answered that in the thread Mentioned above.
generally it is 2 with pointer 4 as @sayan mentioned

Answer 4

Ipang That was what Malik Hamza Nawaz mentioned above
"Yes agreed so what is the architecture of solo learn compiler?"

Answer 5

Malik Hamza Nawaz
It's not about in SoloLearn quiz or other place. Size of a type depends on language, compiler implementation (for compiled languages), and system architecture (a 16, 32 or 64bit machine).

I think you may need to specify a relevant language in your thread tags, just to improve context clarity 👍

Answer 6

Malik Hamza Nawaz
In regards to C or C++, the standards does not specify a strict definition. IIRC there is however a specification that defines that (cmiiw) size of

char < short < int <= long < long long

When it comes to size of integral types family.

P.S. It is highly recommended to rely on `sizeof` operator rather than assumptions on type sizes : )

Answer 7

Yes agreed so what is the architecture of solo learn compiler?

Answer 8

Malik Hamza Nawaz
Although I am not exactly sure, but considering today's demands of the SoloLearn platform, I would guess it uses 64bit machines. 32bit machines serving millions of users may require more work. 16bit machines may not even be capable.

Still, would you mind specify a language in tags above?☝

Answer 9

Sir, my answer in that thread was solely based on Code Playground nature. In the end we know we better off to rely on `sizeof` operator : )

Answer 10

4 bytes

Answer 11

4 bytes

Answer 12

You can dry run a code in SoloLearn ide. Use sizeof() to get your answer.
Although it depends on the question contributor. Generally now a days we use 4 byte for int.

Answer 13

Yes but now in 64 bit architecture the size is 4 bits

Answer 14

Oh sorry I forgot to mention that. I am considering C++

Answer 15

Thank you all.
