sizeof function

[iseekhelp89]

I am extremely new to programing and I am trying to get this to work but for some reason I can't get it to run anything. I keep getting build errors....Can you help me?

You're much more likely to find an answer if you supply some code. It gives a great deal of context.

If it's just the use of size of, then you use it like this:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int my_int = 50;
   cout << "My int has a value of: " << my_int << endl;
   cout << "My int has a size of " << sizeof(my_int) << " bytes" << endl;
   return 0;
}

Will output:

My int has a value of: 50
My int has a size of 4 bytes

The sizeof function returns the size of your object in bytes.
