About 2.:
I've already mentioned that... I was talking about the limits...
You just did

pawn Код:

new name[32], str [64];
GetPlayerName(playerid,name,sizeof(name));

pawn Код:

name[32]

Do you think, that this can be optimized?

Hint: See SA:MP limits and there is a well know definition used in many scripts.

sizeof can be used that way aswell:

pawn Код:

sizeof something

pawn Код:

(sizeof something)

pawn Код:

sizeof (something)

pawn Код:

(sizeof(something))

so you can't say, that sizeof only relies on brackets.

During pre-compilation sizeof simply returns the amount of cells an array has been defined.

pawn Код:

new something[16];
print(" \"sizeof something\" equals "#sizeof something".");

Prints

Код:

 "sizeof something" equals 16.

This is correct.


Edit:
About 4.:
It would be very useful to explain this in the main post for other people.
