15,218 PointsComplete the following code to split the string by spaces into an array of strings.
Please!!! will someone explain to me what i'm doing wrong?
This really shouldn't be this difficult.Split it into an array of strings. I've even tried various solutions to this.
string[] words = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".Split(null); string[] words = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".Split(new char[0]); string[] words = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".Split(' '); string[] words = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".line.Split;
Please, could someone just put my mind to rest and give me some idea?

7,605 PointsYou need to pass a delimiter character to the Split method. In this case, the delimiter is a space to separate the words, so your third attempt should work as long as there is a space between the apostrophes (' '):
string[] words = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".Split(' ');

Split(' ')
If you put double quotes, it fails. I'm not 100% certain if Split if quote-sensitive (" vs ' ) or if it's the Treehouse parsing logic. Either way, the correct answer is: Split(' ')
