You are correct, that is simplified. The whole line is

int personality = sizeof(goals) / sizeof(goals[0]);

To get the length of an array in C, it's necessary to divide its memory footprint by the size of a single element!

BTW you can see what appears to be ASCII in the background of that image. You can decode it if you're bored.
