I've entered the following code but it returns the error: The 'myArray' length is 6 not 31. What am I doing wrong here?
<!DOCTYPE html>

var thirdElementInArray = myArray[2];

Currently your assigning the value of an item that doesn't exist in the array to the variable treehouse which is the opposite of what you want to be doing, instead you need to update the 31st value in the array which would be 30 since arrays start at the zeroth index and assign the string treehouse as it's value.
var myArray = ["sugar", "rush", "fix", "it", 3.14, 42];
var thirdElementInArray = myArray[2];
myArray[30] = 'treehouse';
Happy coding.
