    char *b = "Visual C++";
    printf("%d, %d\n", sizeof(a), sizeof(b));

Here, char *b is a pointer variable, so the number of bytes depends on the bitness of the system.
So if the system is 32, then the answer is 4.
If it is 64 bit system, then it is 8.
So, that's why here 4 bit, here they considered a 32-bit system.
