279 PointsIt seems task 2 and 3 have the answers the wrong way around. Task 2 requires a byte length, and task 3 an item length..
Task 2 is asking for a byte length of the float array (so length of a float multiplied by the array size), but it accepts only the array length, whereas task 3 is asking for an array length, but accepts the byte size.
Or am I missing something?!

13,116 PointsI think you have confused some thing. In task 2 it asks for the size of real_numbers in bytes. Using the function "sizeof()" returns the value of its input in bytes. In the 3rd task though, it asks for the length of the array using sizeof(). Because the array has float values, each float value is usually 4 or 8 bytes (by default) according to if you are on a 32 bit or a 64 bit system. So, if you want to find the length of float you have to divide the number of bytes with the number of bytes equivalent to a float. So it asks for "sizeof(real_numbers)/sizeof(float)".

279 PointsYep, you're right. It appears I was on a different planet when I submitted my question. Many thanks Gloria:
