What will be the output of the program given below in 16-bit platform ?
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
enum value{VAL1=0, VAL2, VAL3, VAL4, VAL5} var;
printf("%d\n", sizeof(var));
return 0;
}

"sizeof () " operator returns the actual size of a data type.
For ex: sizeof (float) ; returns 4 bytes.
Here enum treated as integer data type hence returns 2bytes.

Value inside enum is not properly arranged then how the answer came 2. It is my doubt only.

The value assigned to the 1st variable is 0 so it's integer, enum also continues its values as integers so in 16 bit compiler integer value is 2.

Hi guys. Initial value i.e. val1=0, remaining enumeration constants by default incremented by 1 then. At a time it (var) contains only one enumeration constant. So that answer is 2 (in 16-bit platform).
I hope you understand.

After enum(...) var-why we are writing it here???
whats its actual meaning is??
what it signifies??

An enumeration consists of a set of named integer constants.
In ANSI C, the expressions that define the value of an enumerator constant always have int type; thus, the storage associated with an enumeration variable is the storage required for a single int value. An enumeration constant or a value of enumerated type can be used anywhere the C language permits an integer expression.

enum returns integer only so size is always 2 bytes.

In enum by default return type is int so it may be 2 or 4 byte based on compiler.

In case of enum it doesn't depends on how many values are present. Simply gives what return type present in that. Gives the sizeof (return type).
