Hi all is the memory allocated for different types of variable say float, int and char is different for different architecture?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, definitely.
int, in particular, is particularly prone to that: old 8-bit and 16-bit architectures invariably had 16-bitints, while today’s 32-bit and 64-bit ones invariably use 32-bitints. That’s howintis defined to be — the “natural” size of integers for the architecture you’re compiling for!
