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

Help me solve this

Hi Jonathan,

You have the correct output string and format specifier. The only problem is that printf is expecting a second argument so that it can take that value and place it where you have the %ld

It's asking you to print the size of the array. You want to use the sizeof operator

printf ("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes.", sizeof(real_numbers));

Please elaborate on your issue. It wouldn't be good for your learning if we simply handed you the answers :) Which task are you having troubles with?

float real_numbers[5];

Thanks for your answers. I'm trying to solve task 2 Here is my code:

float real_numbers[] = {1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5}; printf("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes");

Got it. Thanks for your help. Here is the final code for task 2. float real_numbers[5]; printf("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes", sizeof(real_numbers));

thanks,

I'm trying to solve task 3 now Here is my code: <p> 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)); </p> what's wrong with my code

You want to divide the total size of the array by the size of a float to get the number of items.

sizeof(real_numbers) / sizeof(float)
