How to calculate what? sizeof(object) returns the number of bytes required to store the object, for example sizeof(char) is always 1, sizeof(int) can be 2, 4, or 8 (maybe larger), depending on the compiler and platform. sizeof does NOT return the largest number that can be stored in the int, just the number of bytes an int (or other object) occupies in memory.

There is also (on some systems) a long double which should be 128 bits (16 bytes) in size. In a C or C++ program, you can tell how big each type is by using the sizeof(type) function/macro. It will return the number of bytes the type occupies.
