Need help with a problem

[CindyCSCK]

If an int datatype is stored in two bytes on a given system, The How many bytes of memory would the following array use?

int stuff[45][5];

 

[MinnisotaFreezing]

Should be 45*5*2 = 450 bytes. Unless I'm missing something.

Assuming sizeof(int) is equal to 2 then 450 is right. It can, however, be bad to make assumptions and it has jumped up and bit me in the behind a few times. Now, whenever I use a type I use that type in my size calculation. For the above I would output

cout<<45*5*sizeof(int)<<endl;


Just my 2 cents
