The number of elements at given time can be found using the formula

int n=sizeof(arrayname)/sizeof(array data type);

int a[]={2,3,4,5,6};

int n = sizeof(a)/sizeof(int);

even "size(a)/sizeof(a[0])" Should do fine

Array elements are stored in contiguous memory and arrays can hold elements of one type only. Therefore,

nArrElmt = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
