i guesso/p will be 2 and 1since printf executes 4m left to right ..sizeof('a') =1 byte..sizeof a char and sizeof(a)=2 bytes

answer is architecture dependant.

sizeof (datatype) are always architecture dependant.... unless you use virtual machines like JVM.

i think it would be 2 and 1...for int 2bytes and for char 1 byte...that also depends on the architecture of ur system

according 2 me the answer wud be 1 1 & also there is no need to give char a='a' ,we can simply give char a coz thats not making any difference basically.
