is it possible to store the data type in a string and print the size of data type in that string???

A user doesn't enter a data type. They enter data that is put into a variable which is defined by a data type at compile time. So at compile time the data type size is already defined and can be output using sizeof([I]datatype/variable[/I]) .

Then you need to create a mapping from data type to size and store it in a file. Once you've done that just search that file for the data type you are interested in.
Although, as WaltP has already mentioned, the size of a type is available at compile time using sizeof .
