194 PointsCreate a float variable with the name 'radius' which has a value of 14.5
I am sure I am doing it write? Please advise, I thought the answer can be either of the following:
float 'radius'[0]; radius[0] = 14.5;
float radius[0] = {14.5};

To create a float variable, you don't need the square brackets or the curly brackets, see below:
float radius = 14.5;

194 PointsHi Kristen, thank you so much you are an angel!
The next part of the question says: Add a printf statement to print the radius variable. Here is what your output should look like: A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches.
So I put the answer as
printf("radius %f\n");
but then it says the output should look like, A ball with a radius of 14.5 inches
So then I thought the answer will be:
printf("radius %f\n", A ball with a radius of);
I am confused :(
