#include <stdio.h> int main(void) {   printf("\nVariables of type char occupy %d bytes", sizeof(char));   printf("\nVariables of type short occupy %d bytes", sizeof(short));   printf("\nVariables of type int occupy %d bytes", sizeof(int));   printf("\nVariables of type long occupy %d bytes", sizeof(long));   printf("\nVariables of type float occupy %d bytes", sizeof(float));   printf("\nVariables of type double occupy %d bytes", sizeof(double));   printf("\nVariables of type long double occupy %d bytes", sizeof(long double));   return 0; } Variables of type char occupy 1 bytes Variables of type short occupy 2 bytes Variables of type int occupy 4 bytes Variables of type long occupy 4 bytes Variables of type float occupy 4 bytes Variables of type double occupy 8 bytes Variables of type long double occupy 12 bytes
