Challenge 3/3 should be solved this way but just isn't...

I tried different ways:

  • sports [3]

  • sports [sports.length - 1]

I just don't get it. Please help!

thx

Array.java 
String bestSport = "";
String[] sports = {bestSport, "Basketball", "Baseball", "Tennis" }; 
int numberOfSports = sports.length;
String lastSport = sports[numberOfSports - 1];

Take the variable bestSport out of the array!!!

Then you initialize it with:

lastSport = sports[sports.length - 1];

bestSport should be:

bestSport = sports[0];
