Declare a String variable named 'bestFrog' and initialize it to the first element of the frogNames array.

I'm not sure what it's asking me to do on this task. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeremiah its asking you to give a string variable the value of the first element of your frogNames array. So you will have your frogNames array variable that gets declared like string[] frogNames = {"firstname","secondName"}; then to get the first element of the array you will need to access the array by its index so string bestFrog = frogNames [0] should give the value firstname.

Happy Coding !

Okay awesome, I got it now. I was on the right track before but I was putting 1 as the element instead of 0. The whole starting at 0 is still clear as mud to me as Ben would say. haha
