Answer / hitesh sojitra
When you calculate the size of a empty class that time you can c it takes 1 byte.which is the size of a char which a compiler takes for storing the address of a empty class.
The size of an empty class would depend on what is the range specified for the compiler for char. It takes that much space to store the address of a class.
