The result of the sizeof operator will give you the size in bytes. The result type is size_t, but printf doesn't support printing size_t except in C99. You can get around that by casting the result to the largest unsigned integer type, unsigned long:
Rinse and repeat for every other type you want to display.

If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking until you do succeed.
