iOS Objective-C Basics (Retired) Pointers and Memory Array Size and Length

Challenge error.

Currently in Pointers and Memory and the first challenge is giving me some trouble. Question 2 asks me to print the size of the bytes taken up by real_numbers. So I use printf to print out printf("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes.", sizeof(real_numbers)); The next challenge task asks me to print out how many items real_numbers can hold. So I type: printf("Array real_numbers can hold %ld items.", sizeof(real_numbers)/sizeof(float)); It then tells me Task 2 is no longer marked as correct. What is going on?

Silly question, Disregard. I didn't realize it wanted me to print out 2 separate lines of output. One for bytes and one for the items.
