Discussion Forum : Complicated Declarations - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 12)
12.
What will be the output of the program in Turbo C?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
char near *near *ptr1;
char near *far *ptr2;
char near *huge *ptr3;
printf("%d, %d, %d\n", sizeof(ptr1), sizeof(ptr2), sizeof(ptr3));
return 0;
}

Can you explain this please?

Near always takes 2 bytes.
Far and huge always takes 4 bytes.
Far and huge always takes 4 bytes.

Thanks chilli.

Why near variable takes 2bytes and other variable takes 4bytes but all the variables have same type.

Size of pointer only depends on type on compiler but not on data type. But why this difference?

@Chilli can you explain how near always take 2 byte and far take 4 byte.

char near *near *ptr1;

This "near" does not help in anyway.
1. Try removing "that" near.
2. Try putting "far" or "huge" instead of "that".
----------------------------------------------------
=> the output is still same (2,4,4)
----------------------------------------------------
The question is why?

Guys actually here they introduce three types of pointers, in which first one is near. This pointer can point within the segment or program.
Second one is far pointer it can point to outside the segment and also it can point to large range of address.
Third one is huge pointer it is similar to far pointer. In case of far pointer it is not possible to point to outside the certain boundary, whereas in case of huge pointer if programmer wants the value which is outside the boundary in that situation huge extends its capacity.
