Where did I go wrong?

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.

I put: float real_numbers [] = {11.11, 22.22, 33.33, 44.44, 55.55} printf("array real numbers is %ld bytes", sizeof(real_numbers));

You have to be really careful with the requirements. Look at the question and compare your result with the expected result. Are they the same? No. They are similar. Here is the correct answer:

float real_numbers[5]; 
printf("Array real_numbers is %ld bytes.", sizeof(real_numbers));

Observe the capital A on Array and the _ on real_numbers and the . at the end of the sentence. Details make difference.
