You got several responses when you posted this same question two days
ago. If those responses weren't useful to you, you'll need to explain
why before we can help you.

It would also be helpful if you could tell us why you want to use a
macro rather than the builtin "sizeof" operator.

It's a horrible homework assignment, except for a course in *advanced* C
programming. Otherwise, the only solution a teacher can realistically
expect is:

#define SIZEOF sizeof

Or because he/she found a set of interview questions without the answers.
He/she is worried this might be a question they will ask during an
interview.
