void main()
{
char far *ptr1,*ptr2;

printf("%d %d", sizeof(ptr1),sizeof(ptr2));
}

The output look like 4 2 why not it become 4 4.

I think it is bcoz the "far" is only for ptr1 & NOT for ptr2.

i.e. char far *ptr1, *ptr2;

Correct me if I'm wrong.....

@shirish_nagar have a look at this line

printf("%d %d", sizeof(ptr1),sizeof(ptr1));

so it should return the value of ptr1 twice
but it is returning error on my compiler
