Confused

Hello, not sure what I am doing wrong for step 2 of this challenge?

String[] frogNames = { "Mike", "Tim", "Jim" };

String bestFrog = frogNames[1];

Thanks in advance

Edit:

I figured out your issue. You are declaring it correctly. You are not, however, getting the first element correctly.

Remember items in arrays are referenced by their position starting with 0. 0 is the first item in the array; not 1.
