As with diffs, it's useful to include context -- Jerry, did you mean 
s/equal to number/equal to the number/, or s/larger or equal to 
number/equal to the number/?  :)

To be pedantic, if you meant the former, then it ought to be "...the 
size of the array must be larger than or equal to the number 
returned...." -- note the "than" added after "larger".
