To determine the mode of python shell use struct module. The struct.calcsize(‘P’) calculates the number of bytes required to store a single pointer. It returns 4 for a 32-bit system and 8 for a 64-bit system

Algorithm

1. Start
2. Import struct module
3. Use the calcsize(“P”) function to get the number of bytes required to store a single pointer
4. Multiply the result by 4 if you have a 32-bit system else by 8 for a 64-bit system
5. Display the output

Program

import struct
print("32 bit system : ",struct.calcsize("P")*4)
print("64 bit system : ",struct.calcsize("P")*8)

Output

32 bit system :  32
64 bit system :  64
