get the size of an array c+ code example

Example 1: array length c++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#define size(type) ((char *)(&type+1)-(char*)(&type))

int main(){
  int arr[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
  cout << size(arr) / size(arr[0]) << endl; //returns 5
  //alternatively
  cout << sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int) << endl; //returns 5
}

Example 2: length of array in cpp

int size = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0])
