Array_Length

Hi Fabrizio,

You want to use the forward slash for the division operator / You've got a division symbol in there instead.

sizeof(real_numbers) / sizeof(float)

Is it possible that the result of 'sizeof(real_numbers)÷sizeof(float)' returns an integer, hence the string formatting '%ld' (long) is incorrect? Try changing '%ld' to '%d'

ok, i'll do that! thank you Andrew ;)

Task:

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.

Solution:

float real_numbers [] = {1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5};

printf("Array real_numbers can store %ld items.", sizeof(real_numbers) / sizeof(float));

Error:

Make sure you are calling printf and passing a string (not an NSString) and real_numbers as the parameters. The correct format option is '%ld'.

I can't find the mistake and it continues to say that's equal to the exercise i've done before.

For andrew: is right to write %ld, cuz i've tried with %d and gives me an error.

Did you recycle the printf statement from task 2 when doing task 3? You should keep previous code in place if that's what happened.

I deleted printf("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes.", sizeof(real_numbers)); and shown me that error.

Now i completed the exercise ;)

Yes agreed with Jason. Your final code should be: float real_numbers[5]; printf("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes.", sizeof(real_numbers)); printf("Array real_numbers can store %ld items.", sizeof(real_numbers) / sizeof(float));
