Using the printf function print the size in bytes of the variable real_numbers. Your output should look like the following: Array real_numbers is x bytes.
My answer:
{ float real_numbers [5]={1.1,2.2,3.3,4.4,5.5}; printf("float is %ld bytes", sizeof(float)); printf("real numbers is %ld bytes", sizeof(real_numbers)); printf("Array real_number is %ld bytes", sizeof(real_numbers)/sizeof(float)); return 0; }
am I wrong? If so, please point out my error.
Thanks, Jay

First off, there is no need for the curly braces. You are not asked to specify the contents of the array real_numbers, so you should just leave it at float real_numbers [5];
Your code should look like this:
float real_numbers [5];
printf ("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes.\n", sizeof(real_numbers));
printf("Array real_numbers can store %ld items.\n", sizeof(real_numbers)/sizeof(float));
