why doesn't this work?:
float real_numbers [5] = {11.1,22.2,33.3,44.4,55.5}; printf("array real_numbers %ld bytes", sizeof (real_numbers));

float real_numbers [5] = [11.1,22.2,33.3,44.4,55.5];
printf("array real_numbers %ld bytes", sizeof(real_numbers));

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Stephen,
Your output isn't exactly matching what the challenge wants.
You need to capitalize Array and you're missing is from your output.
Also, you don't have to fill the array with 5 floats. float real_numbers[5]; is enough. You only need to declare space for 5 floats.

3,838 PointsThat didn't do the trick. Here is the assignment.
Using the printf function print the size in bytes of the variable real_numbers. Your output should look like the following: Array real_numbers is x bytes.
