The sizeof operator cannot be used with the following operands:

* Functions. (However, sizeof can be applied to pointers to functions.)
* Bit fields.
* Undefined classes.
* The type void.
* Dynamically allocated arrays.
* External arrays.
* Incomplete types.
* Parenthesized names of incomplete types

lekin agar we pass incomplete object type to sizeof(),then it returns 1
so output of sizeof main is 1

However incase of sizeof(main()) the answer is 4
as main returns an int,
and sizeof(main()) returns the sizeof(int)
