I don't understand the second line of your code snippet. What are you even trying to do here??

String bestSport = ("Basketball int numberOfSports = int sports(sports.lenght);

Did you mix up two lines into one? for e.g. if I wanna take a guess,

You might be trying to write: String bestSport = "Basketball" OR String bestSport = new String ("Basketball"); And then the second line might be... int numberOfSports = sports.length;

i don't know man what your question is.

Erm sorry i though question will be included. first question was : "Declare a String variable named bestSport and initialize it to the first element of the sports array". 1) so i wrote code String bestSport = ("Basketball"); [propably deleted some of the code before i asked question, dont know why it appeared [("Basketball] like that.

I actually have to say sorry, just tried it now, and everything seems fine, propably i mixed myself up with something...

Thanks Sanat !
