Dieses Schlüsselwort liefert die Größe einer Variable / eines Datentyps in Byte:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Datentyp " <<
"Bytes" <<
endl;
cout <<
"-----------------"
<< endl;
cout << "bool: " <<
sizeof(bool) << endl;
cout << "char: " <<
sizeof(char) << endl;
cout << "short: " <<
sizeof(short) << endl;
cout << "int: "
<< sizeof(int) << endl;
cout << "long: " <<
sizeof(long) << endl;
cout << "long long: " << sizeof(long long)<<
endl;
