C++ Array Size

Get the Size of an Array

To get the size of an array, you can use the sizeof() operator:

Example

int myNumbers[5] = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50};
cout << sizeof(myNumbers);

Result :

20

Why did the result show 20 instead of
5
, when the array contains 5 elements?

It is because the sizeof() operator returns the size of a type in bytes. Continue reading C++ Array Size
