6,996 PointsOkay, so after I fixed your code. I did the code challenge as well. Your code is almost correct for the challenge. Your error comes up only because you are using randomGenerator. The challenge never asked for the randomGenerator to be placed. As well your bestFrog string is wrong according to challenge, what you put in is the last frog.

String[]frogNames = {"mike","ben","kris"};
String bestFrog = frogNames[2];
Random randomGenerator = new Random();
int numberOfFrogs = randomGenerator.Int(frogNames.length);

6,996 PointsYou should try to use the Markdown Cheatsheet. The code is very confusing and hard to know what you did wrong when it's written as just text. you have to use three ` before and after the code. This thing called backstick and is located to the left of number 1/ exclamation mark. Once that's done, We can help better. Sorry for the inconvenience.
