Hi Karan,

The 3rd task wants you to print the length or number of items that the array can store. In task 1 you were asked to create an array with enough room for 5 floats. So we already know that the answer should be 5 but it wants us to calculate that number using sizeof().

From task 2 you know to get the total size of the array with sizeof(real_numbers)

If you divide that by the size of a float, sizeof(float), that should give you the length of the array.
