teachers = { " Jay" , "Dave" , "James"};
teachers= new String [ Jay , Dave , James];
You just have to replace null
with {"Jay", "Dave", "James"}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 19,570 PointsYou were very close, code ends up initializing the array twice, but first one was correct:
public String[] getTeachersAsArrayLiteral() {
// TODO: Replace null with an array literal that matches the long form above
String[] teachers = {"Jay", "Dave", "James"};
return teachers;
}
