Print the length of the array real_numbers using the sizeof() function. Your output should look like the following: Array real_numbers can store x items.
https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/need-some-basic-explanation# What I tried:
float real_numbers[5]; printf("Array real_numbers can store %ld items", sizeof(real_numbers));
I guess I am just not really following what the question is asking. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

so would this be the way to set it up?
