Doubt :ACE OTS

Question

Ans : Option D 

But array size is 14 then how 15 is printed ?

ptr size is 2 but precise answer given was 2.29 , how ?

 

Answer 1

sizeof will counts the null character also, while strlen stops when it encounter null character

In below image you can see "a\0bc" will be actually interpreted as "a\0bc\0" i.e compiler automatically adds null character at end of string.

So you are getting 15 although its 14
