358 PointsHold two numbers or three?
The challenge says that it "should be big enough to hold 2 numbers" - but then surely the array should be math_constants[1] and not math_constants[2] since index [0] of the array would hold the first number and index [1] would hold the second number. So I'm not sure why it has to be math_constants[2] instead of math_constants[1].

42,016 Pointswhen declaring an array, the number that goes inside the brackets is the size of the array. you are not indexing the array when you declare it.
To declare an array with a size of 5:
//this can hold 5 floats
float someArray[5];
to set the first element of the array using an index
someArray[0] = 1.0;
When indexing arrays, the indexes start at 0, so if you want the first element you use index 0, the second is index 1 etc etc.
