The output is 4 4 4 because every pointer is 4 bytes long irrespective of what type it is pointing.

The program gives errors on compiling.

It runs only after modifying in this way
```
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
     char *s1;
     char *s2;
     char *s3;
     printf("%d %d %d ",sizeof(s1),sizeof(s2),sizeof(s3));
     getch();
}
```
Output: 4 4 4
Using dev-c++ compiler. (or gcc)

First one char *str : str is a pointer variable which stores an address of a char datatype. So the size is 2 bytes (default). In which you can address from (0000)hexa to (FFFF)hexa. you cant go beyond that.

Second one is char far *str: far pointer increases the addressable locations. where you can give address ranges from (00000000)hexa to (FFFFFFFF)hexa. Ex:- for the monitor output the address is 0800 0000 hexa.

Third one is char huge *str: when far pointer overflows ie gets incremented from (FFFFFFFF) + 1 it again goes to (00000000) hexa. The address is inside the same process.
But in the case of huge if it gets overflow (FFFFFFFF)+1 it goes to the next process 1 0000 0000 hexa.

char huge *s3;
printf("%d %d %d ",sizeof(s1),sizeof(s2),sizeof(s3));
}
As per my knowledge:

This is happen because simple pointer store in ram and far pointer use video memory.

I guess this is the correct answer!!!
