your output string is incorrect and you need to print the size of the variable, not the data type. the task states: 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.

so you need to make sure you output string will say " Array real_numbers is x bytes" but replace x with a format specifier, then as the other argument pass in the sizeof the array variable

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