what is the o/p of the program?

Question

int main()
{
    char *p = "Good";
    char a[] = "Good";
    printf("%d\t%d\t%s\n", sizeof(p), sizeof(*p));

}

According to me ans shld be 2,1
but on running o/p is 8,1. How 8 is the o/p please explain?

Your machine is 64 bit , hence it returns 8.

if it were 32 bit, then it returns 4.

why last output is 4 ? you want to print %s right?
