Array of pointers

Question

 Please help me out guys

Well for pointer questions why cannot you simply run and print the values first? It is not a concept which can be understoon drom books and must be learned via thinking.

And your question is pretty clear from what I understood and your first one is logical (though now 64 bit system is the typical one) and is the correct one. Second one is absurd - how can a pointer be represented using 1 byte - may be its for representing the value at each location pointed to by the pointer.

Size of a pointer on a system remains fixed. It doesn't change whether it's a pointer to integer or character.

So second concept is wrong. See this

I am thankful to both of you for answering my doubt.. And arjun sir,  I don't know why I did not write code for it.  N to all the persons if,  having this doubt or any other regarding pointer,   run it first.. Doubt will get resolve by itself.

Size of pointer dependes on the machine you are using . Now a days we all are using 64-bit machine.
 

    #include<stdio.h> 
    int main() {
    	int *p;
    	printf("size %d ",sizeof(p));
    }

in this machine size of pointer is 8B.
If size of pointer / any information about machine is NOT given then take it as 2B .
