sizeof "string"

[W Stevens]

On our system (Vax 11/780 running UNIX 5.0, a.k.a. System V), the
program:

main()
{
	printf("size of \"Hello world!\" is %d\n",
	 sizeof("Hello world!"));
	exit(0);
}

prints the value 13.  This agrees with K&R page 181: "A string has type
'array of characters' and storage class static ... and is initialized
with the given characters."

The difficult didn't get done yesterday, so the impossible will have to wait.
