what is the value of sizeof(const char*) in C++?

Question

sizeof (char) is 1 but what is the value of sizeof(const char*) in c++?

the size of the pointer itself is four bytes, while the size of the char it's pointing to is only one.

    const char* c = "Hello!";
    cout <<  sizeof(c); // 4
    cout <<  sizeof(*c); // 1
    cout << endl;

well a char is only ONE character. to copy one char to another a=b or a='Z' (single quotes) strcat() will concatenate to char arrays together. char str1[100] = "Hello"; strcat(str1, " world!"); puts(str1); puts out "Hello world!" btw that is C and not C++, char and strcat are for C strings not C++, but they all work in either anyway.
