I don't understand why, but after listing it as an operator K&R gives it as "sizeof (size of an object)" and all of the examples have parentheses around the type. Of course, something like "sizeof (struct tnode) " really does need the parentheses.

Instead of "sizeof(shorttype)" you should code "sizeof shorttype".
