float math_constants[2]; math_constants[0] = 2.71828; math_constants[1] = 1.41421;
printf("PI %f\n", math_constants[0]);

"Euler's number = 2.718" is the string. Which means it would look something like this:
printf("Euler's number = %f", math_constants[0]);

Challenge task 4 of 4 "Print the value of the first item in the math_constants array. Your output should look like this: Euler's number = 2.71828" should look like
float math_constants[2];
math_constants[0] = 2.71828;
math_constants[1] = 1.41421;
printf("Euler's number = %f", math_constants[0]);
You were asked to print out "Euler's number = " in task 4 of 4 but you used "PI" and a new line "\n" by mistake.

The problem is that your format string does not match up with the output they want.
Your printf will produce "PI 2.71828"
they want the output to be "Euler's number = 2.71828"
See if you can change your format string to match that output.

50,595 PointsThomas Nilsen Jason Anello - maybe some kind of "attention - an answer is already in progress" warning should be implemented in the forum to avoid the situation of 3 simultaneous answers :-)
...well, at least nobody could blame that he doesn't get an answer here :-)

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYes, I didn't refresh before posting. A notification would be helpful. I think this happens a lot.
After I saw the other two answers, I thought "this one is pretty well covered".
