To determine the value of y
at the end of main
, let's go through the code step by step:
const int x = 5;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int x[x];
int y = sizeof(x) / sizeof(int);
return 0;
}
In this code, we have a constant integer x
initialized with the value of 5.
Next, we declare an array x
with the size of x
, which is 5. This means we are declaring an array with 5 elements.
Then, we calculate the value of y
by dividing the size of the array x
(which is 5 * sizeof(int)
) by the size of an int
(sizeof(int)
).
The sizeof
operator returns the size of a data type in bytes. In this case, sizeof(int)
returns the size of an int
in bytes.
Since the size of an int
is typically 4 bytes, the size of the array x
is 20 bytes (5 * 4).
Therefore, y
is equal to the size of the array x
(20 bytes) divided by the size of an int
(4 bytes), which is 5.
Hence, the correct answer is B) 5.
