922 PointsArray Size and Length Challenge 3 of 3
So I looked around the forums and I still don't see what I am doing wrong.
The challenge is:
Print the length of the array real_numbers using the sizeof() function. Your output should look like the following: Array real_numbers can store x items.
And my answer was:
float real_numbers [5];
printf("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes\n", sizeof real_numbers);
printf("Array real_numbers can store %ld items.\n", sizeof real_numbers);
Now, I know that 3rd line is not right, but I'm confused on what is needed here. Just hints if you can, I'd like to figure this one out on my own.

922 PointsOkay so I thought about this all day and I'm going to have to ask for another hint please.

13,834 PointsYou need to use the size of a float to calculate the count of the array. If you're still stuck the last minute or so of the video has the answer.
