Why size of the string array is 24 in the given code.?

string arr[]={"sdfsf",
"sdfete","dfgsh"};

cout<< sizeof(arr)
output is 24 in the given statement

sizeof() is a compile-time expression giving you the size of a type or a variable’s type. It doesn’t care about the value of the variable.

Exactly what size you get depends on how the string class is implemented. You might also get a different size if you compile the program in release mode.
On my PC i get sizeof(Arr) to be 72 for same arr[].

sizeof() doesnt consider the value, but returns size of the variable in bytes.

Hope this clears your doubt.
