Basics

Exercise 1: sizeof and alignof

Write a small program that prints the size (sizeof) and the alignment (alignof) of these types:

• char, bool, int, float, double, void*
• std::vector<double> and std::string

You can also do this in Compiler Explorer.

Exercise 2: member order

Write a struct with a char, a double and an int, in this order, and print its size and alignment. Then change the order of the members.

• Does the size change? Try playing around with the orders
