I didn't understand. It gives an error message.

D:\class1\1\main.c|7|error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token|
D:\class1\1\main.c|5|error: 'near' undeclared (first use in this function)|

Please help me.

Three types of pointer is there. Near, far and huge which consists of size 2, 4, 4 respectively.

How can you say that near contains only 2 bytes and far, huge contains 4 bytes?

This won't even compile according to C89, C99 or C11.

*ptr1 is of type near pointer hence the size is 2 bytes but whereas the *ptr2 and *ptr3 is of type far and huge pointers the size of huge and far pointers are 4 bytes.
