Under P.6, there are a few examples where the size is passed separately. The local variable name for the size is n. There is a typo and m is passed instead. There is no local var named m. It should be n.

Passing the number of elements as an argument is better (and far more common) than just passing the pointer and relying on some (unstated) convention for knowing or discovering the number of elements. However (as shown), a simple typo can introduce a serious error. The connection between the two arguments of `f2()` is conventional, rather than explicit.
