int nums[SIZE];
char *strings[SIZE];
int next_num_ptr = nums;
int free_space;

/*perform operations on next_num_ptr as array fills */

free_space = strings - next_num_ptr;

Compliant Solution

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff

nt nums[SIZE];
char *strings[SIZE];
int next_num_ptr = nums;
int free_space=SIZE;

/*perform operations on next_num_ptr as array fills 
  decrement free_space as it fills */
